I didn't realize a few keystrokes of the word eBay would cause people such hoo-hah to jab on my personal life style, the educational background or the level of salary. I'm an enthusiast on many things and it truly doesn't stun me that there are always something that ticks someone anywhere you go.

What if I revealed myself before hand that I got my MBA from Harvard or a Ph.d in Computer science from Stanford. Would it entitle me the same arrogant peremptory manner I got?

What if I got my Th.D degree from Printon living as a prophet in a developing country rasing money for the charity. Are you going to crucify me on my lowly wage and put a curse on yourself and your offsprings in return?

What if I plan on taking my compact Mac on a local cafe. Are you going to stone me of adultery for attracting middle aged female?

I wonder if Steve Wozniac or Meg Whitman openly posting the smilar topic on collectable value or resale value on a Mac would earn them the same haughty imperious advice on their education, job and salary.

Although I got my Mac Plus, Quadra 800 and PM 9500 when they first came out, only the marginalized ones know how to push a benign eBay botton to cause transgression (or kick in a groin) against a royal veteran Mac user.

You talk about the risk from an eBay shark (aside from your so called fellow EBAY sellers) but you are solicitating bigger risk by getting too personal too quickly. With all due respect you''ve contributed to some of my questions but even if you consider a risk well worth taking for your divine cause, you might get more than what you bargain for (like eBay pricing) and none of your credit will count toward you as well.

Sorry to be so blunt. I don't mean to upset you. But I feel it important to tell you the truth that I just dug out my SE/30 I didn't know I had it after all these years and to me it's just a worldly consumable goods. And I got my economics degree from U.C. Berkeley with a little help from the SE.
