Jared Says for February 2000

This month there is little new on the collectible front to report as my wife and I took a two week trip to Egypt. Talk about antiquities!  Just let me take just one little piece. There are plenty of hawkers who will sell you all different sort of "relics". Original of course.

I recently finished selling two batches on eBay. I had the unplesant experience of putting a negative comment on a bidder, and contacted eBay to get a credit. It was because the individual did not send payment for an item after being the high bidder.

Most times we have a tendency to say "forget it", but this time I received an e-mail from someone else who had been stiffed by the same person and I knew that a negative feedback was the right thing to do to. People who abuse the system need to be visible to others and valid comments need to be sent to eBay to get these people off the system.

Have a good month.
