Who Needs TechTalk when you have eBay?!Steve-O

Check out these two amusing auctions!

I'd be curious to find out how much money this guy makes sending out e-mail advice over the Internet (and if his directions actually make sense!).

Why would people go to ebay to PAY for information that is easy to find all over ther internet, maybe its for the sucker who doesn't know how to do a search or how to go to their LBS and ask. I would also be curious as to how much that guy makes. I think he should start at a lower bid though.

What's easy to you is not always easy to others. If that wasn't the case, there would be no need for teachers nor textbooks. Mathematics is one prime example, there has been very little change in math since the 1700s and the basic operations are very simple and freely available, yet we pay ridiculous amounts in school and books for it.

Hey, the guy has good feedback. Go for it and write a review. Maybe we'll all learn something.

Me thinks it's a way to boost his rating before he sells the stolen bike collection that he lists with copied pictures and doesn't own. Most likely, the buyer, from Africa, will send him a $1mil check and ask for a check back for the difference.

Or not.

For just 10cents, I'll tell you how to tie your shoes. Or for $1, I'll tell you where your shoes are. NOTE: They must be on your feet to guarantee a find.

I see 3 sales of his HOWTOs, for a grand total of $0.47. THe listing charges will take care of that. I like the guy who paid $0.01 for advice & declared it "worth every penny"
