[PRCo] Interesting Items on eBay (grande finale)

[John F Bromley]

I've been asked not to send any more stuff from the eBay lists by the very expedient method of "sending the auction to a friend" box, which is very simple to do and no bother, thus why I do it.  I've been asked to, instead, save them all up, somehow transfer the links to a separate eMail in my own mail outbox which I must then store for later mailing (sorry, don't know how, I'm not very computer-literate when it comes to anything technical).  That's a lot of extra work for me, and I'm one of those retirees who wonders when he ever had time to go to work when I had to do that, so I'm most reluctant to do it.  I maintain a Toronto database whose size is beyond the comprehension of most people, and it takes a lot of my time.  As well, I have slides to catalog and file and various other assortments of work, not to mention home life and all those chores.  I just don't have time for grouping the eBay laughables and/or good stuff and adding yet another chore.  I have stacks of Toronto stuff to enter on the database, and I don't even have last year's route changes in yet, never mind 6 months worth of historical research points to update.

I don't usually have much to say on most of the topics on this site, thus on most occasions nothing really to contribute to the amusement of my fellow streetcar enthusiasts (to borrow  and paraphrase the wonderful British term for trolleynut), so at least the meagre eBay offerings gave me something to give, be it funny, ridiculous or even on-topic.  As I run my searches it was so simple to share a finding.  Many of you have said you enjoyed it, but now it's not to be.

Sorry, but I'm not going to start collecting gems for later transfer, so Bromley's eBay musings must cease.
