Why eBay precludes certain ham gear, scanners, etc. yet allows illegal CB 
linears, new and used, from individuals and companies, mobile and base station, 
solid state and tube type, etc. is beyond me.

Of late, I think the Ebay sales are dying away.?
?
There's much less quality stuff on Ebay these days (and I'm a great Ebay 
prowler...). Lots more junk, and cables, and duped manuals and the like, far 
less?
really nice stuff. The change of Ebay rules, the increase in the cost of 
shipping (and the damage that comes free of charge) I think have affected Ebay.?
?
OTOH, I'm happy to report the Raleigh hamfest last weekend was crammed, and all 
tables were sold out it was very crowded, and people were buying.?
?
Demographics, economics, energy costs, the "newness " of things all affect our 
niche hobby.?
