To be fair I am sure there are one or two good companies on eBay, but I still miss the original intent of the site.
I agree that there are some good vendors out there. Like many other things, you have to know what you're looking at, and, well, you have to know that if something is way too cheap, that's probably because it's a knockoff.
Still, I think the movement of Ebay more and more towards "professional" dealers, and especially people who deal in tat, has made it less worth my wild.

Greed! That's all it is. The Almighty Dollar. It's the american way. Plus, if no one bought them, no one would sell them.

I said it! Ha ha ha! And it's not even a dirty word when used properly. 
I don't know why, but that is funny. I can't seem to stop laughing. I don't even know why you are saying that Nighthawk. Have you been eating rotten moccasins again? Too much A1?

Perhaps I'm seeing something even worse than the post is actually about then?  Good lord! The thought of that...

I note however, that all this didn't stop me from ordering an argyle jacket today because it was in my size (which is big and hard to find) and cheap ($119.). So, now with the one I ordered from USAK a month ago, I'll wind up with two. But, well, you know how it is... :P

I don't know - This thing has some great possibilities for a stag night while kilted when one of the guys askes "the question."
