Re: [PLUG] OT: EBay Auction Etiquette?


I totally understand. My boss is trying to sell a server rack and wanted to
go the EBay route but I thought maybe you guys would want a crack at it. If
he fails at at the EBay auction I will post it with the aforementioned "make
an offer" approach.

Thanks for the heads up.

Chris.
