Sorry to bother the list with this, but I'm getting desperate. I'm
writing a story about how people are turning to eBay and other online
auction sites to buy Christmas gifts this year. Two of my colleagues,
for example, bought refurbished Palm Pilots for their husbands. eBay has
opened up a separate "store" for this stuff and it's become very
popular. The challenge, of course, is finding someone who has done it or
plans to (someone who is not my colleague.) Anyone out there fit the
bill for whatever reason - easier, cheaper, whatever? My number is
836-4948 if you care to chat about it. I'll be here all day.

Thanks, Carlene Hempel
