I totally agree.
IMO These boards are the best source of useful information out there.
I've been on the boards since 2004 and I still learn stuff very frequently here. That is also why I try to give back when I have something of use too (and sometimes even when it is probably not of use 😉 ! The very best/longest lasting sales improvement tactic I've ever employed came from information I got from these boards!!
The only unfortunate part of the boards is that with the volume of posts regarding bad buyers, ebay practices, postal etc experiences, one has to compartmentalize what's here otherwise one would come to believe all buyers are criminals, ebay too 😉 and the post office loses a lot of packages!
