Hmmm ... thought this was the kind of junk that should be listed and sold at Yahooooooooo
PS - what is the State doing with all of the OTHER stuff they confiscated? (the UZIs, grenades, rocket launchers, etc.). I already have a suspicion as to what they are doing with the drugs ...

The last line of the article reads, "Accounts on eBay are free and the cost for listing an item for bid can range from 30 cents to $3. The cost of shipping items is about the only expense to the seller."
Maybe we should invite that reporter to these boards?

Hi sugar2912~~
I noticed that as well. I believe it should have read bidder.
The point of this thread is, N Carolina tried to intimidate online sellers, about a year ago, into getting an auctioneer's license.
The licensing procedure for auctioneers in N Carolina has absolutely nothing to do with online auctions.
Plus, the Auctioneer board has no authority to demand anything, although, they would like to think so.
Their sole duty is to enforce the rules as they are on the books now. They tried to apply them to the cyberworld before getting slapped on the wrist by the legislature (after N Carolinians started calling their state reps to let them know what was going on).
I just found it ironic that the state is now auctioning online and wondered if the board would attempt to crack down.
