Thumbs down FRELL!!! eBay is closing Half.com
AAAAAAWWWWWWWWW CRAP! Stinking mega-corporation price-inflating monstrosity!

I HAAATE eBay. I like just seeing what I want, and buying it. I hate auctions. "Oh, we have a Buy It Now feature." Whoppdee-Freaking-Do! Yeah, but you don't set shipping prices. $5 to ship a cd my eye. Believe or not, Half.com has the more obscure stuff than eBay. I'm moving my buisiness to www.gemm.com and www.musicstack.com. See how eBay likes that. Greedy crap-faced nerf-herders. Sure, just buy half.com and shut it down. For the love of Pete!


I feel better, but still am strangely both sad and angry...

www.amazon.com sells used stuff also. I too have become bored with waiting for auctions to end, but sometimes you have to get stuff that way.

That's a shame. We got a lot of decent stuff from Half.com. I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to take their model and set up a different site (quarter.com?) and NOT sell to eBay.

Just an idea.
