[LargeFormat] Ebay Madness

[Karl Wolz]

Safe - probably.  Legal - probably not.  Right - not in my book, but I only
have to live with myself.

Sorry to be a moralist, but eBay provides a service and deserves to get paid
for it.  My brother buys tools from Home Depot, uses them once, and then
returns them for a full refund.  I've had this conversation with him, too.
