    The Joys of E-Bay - Rant - Sorry

    Yep, as a seller, I've had the same experience. There was a recent thread on SF about this very issue, and I was rather discouraged to see how many folks who buy pipes on eBay see sellers as "feedback extortionists," without stopping to think about how the situation looks from the other side...

    Thanks, Puff -- it's a truly awesome smoker! I'm such a sucker for pretty, shiny stuff, but this one is much more than just a great looker.
