<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 766383, member: 19165"]BNB... you and I disagree pretty much every time you post. green18 and Lehigh are giving you great advice.... please learn before you attempt to educate. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some comments on this thread: powerseller status is essentially meaningless to me, and I will actually avoid buying from these guys if possible. To me, powerseller means the guy sells a lot and I am just another customer - much more likely to get lost in the shuffle, given the cold shoulder, treated poorly. These guys have the "Ebay attitude." The smaller sellers are much more likely to care, treat me personally, and give me better service.

Buying low and selling high is the key - as you know. Buying at auction means competing against knowledgeable bidders who have already set a fair price.
