To be fair I am sure there are one or two good companies on eBay, but I still miss the original intent of the site.
I'm pretty young, but I remember those days... Now it's more like "you pay for what you can get" instead of "you get what you pay for."
More and more all I can find is cheap, mass produced, disposable crap for sale.
Quality products made and sold by quality people are getting harder and harder to find, and harder and harder to afford...
I've seen too many small independent, family-owned businesses go under, driven out by massive mulit-national corporations... It's depressing.
