I thought they bit the dust long ago. I got ripped off using them. I place an ad and a women emailed saying she had what I wanted so I sent a MO never heard from her again.
Thanks nero-----glad to know they are still around. I always enjoy reading the ads.

wow paws! Thats a shame. I dont know what standards if any they hold for buyers and sellers.
Just amazes me the amount of stuff listed out there! So many sites, both with wanted and selling boards. Maybe the way to go is if you see a 'wanted' buyer and you have the item - you could email them your auction on ebay?
Someone once said they spent alot of time scouring yahoo auctions in comparison to ebay and if they saw alot of active bidding on such and such an item, would usually buy it cheaper on yahoo and post on ebay to grab some of the competing bidders.
For me, there's not enough time. Already feel like I waste too much time surfing around. (and here, of course :-0 )

I browsed iOffer/ewanted and was appalled at the abundance of fake merchandise being offered.
Some company is producing replicas of Tiffany jewelry (and possibly the famous blue boxes, too). This crap is all over iOffer being sold as the real thing with pictures stolen from Tiffany.com. Some sellers, when pressed, will admit they're not genuine but most don't.
Enough reason for me to avoid the whole shebang.

Fluff - look at some of the Tiffany box & pouch auctions on ebay. There are fakes boxes and pouches.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?
