Well, eBay pulled my service manual auction because it contained a link
to my web site. I've re-listed but with a link to my My eBay page
(which has a link to the free service manual page). We'll see if this
flies or if I need to resort to further subterfuge :)
Well, i quess you'll know how many people actually read your whole ad by the
