EBay sales

[Chris Trask]

        Myself, I've been making out very well with eBay, picking up
books, magazines, journals, test equipment, and various odds and ends for
both my library and my lab here.  It's a very valuable asset, just like
the book searches and the newsgroups.

        Low starting prices mean a potential windfall, as well as a heated
bidding war from the very start.
