Whilst I have never sold a chess computer, I have sold the duplicates of my book
collection on Ebay, as you know. About 50 of them. Selling on Ebay gives you a
whole new viewpoint, compared with buying.

So when it comes to buying a chess computer in an auction I can see the auction
from the sellers point of view to a certain extent. I can put myself in
his/her's shoes.

From that experience I do not think it is fair for me to criticise, unless it is
a scam, or there are serious problems.  Not that anyone would be over influenced
by what I have to say.

All the best
Mike
