Rick, would you care to elaborate??

If I could get away with it, I probably would. Few American widget shop owners wouldn't.

Few would even consider such a thing.

Maybe that's a statement in itself.
...or maybe AS is just on vacation?

Confused – AGAIN?

If you go back to the post that started this little agree/disagree (the one containing the controversial link and the one that got, “Rude does not even describe it!! Some people just don't have their heads screwed on tight!!”), you’ll see that the link hasn’t been removed.

Of course, all this additional posting on this topic is only giving that link more coverage (bumping it to the top while adding to the reply and view count). Incase someone wants me to elaborate on “coverage”; if you think it was inappropriate leaving that link, the more you comment here, the more you’ll be adding to its inappropriateness. But since I’m opened minded, I don’t mind people encouraging what they think is inappropriate.

Considering that some Americans think "business ethics" is an oxymoron, then perhaps we could start agreeing or disagreeing on that subject.

That is interesting, especially since Puppy reported it to AS. Wouldn't have lasted but a few hours in the ole days.

Looks like I really started something off.
People are so touchy these days!

All the above comments have some validity and both PR and MW comments are reasonable.

But I believe this forum isn't just about AS. I think its really about providing the 'punter' with the best 'tools' for shopping on Ebay. In this context if a person has problems with the tool they are using, I didn't see harm in helping them with 'an out of the box' solution. In my humble opinion I may have even helped AS because informed people make better decisions and eventually someone who comes across this forum may thank me for truly 'helping'.

I would also like to thank AS for supporting an open forum.

Not at all, rick! I just wanted to try out your word.

Obviously one that is successfully applied to myself. Mine only get "Nope" or smilies. But, then I have something I can elaborate on.

Keeping bumping - love it.

Hey, if it doesn't bother AS, I guess I shouldn't let it bother me.

Correct... we agree, disagree, talk about cars, play word games, and quote each other too.

Bump...

OH OH...I AGREE!!!!

Kinda seriously, how many of you went to the link and decided to leave AS?? Any takers?? Any takers that would admit it??

R2 and I are prolly the only ones that went to the price section and had a look, and thats probably got more to do with some ongoing issues than any reliability issues.

Then again, we are probably the only regulars that criticise AS

Shouldn't that be "those links"?

I think that's accurate. Which means the only two regulars that are trying to improve AS, and the service. May be too many people defending it instead of trying to improve it.

OH OH... LEXIE AGREES!!!

I did half that... haven't done the decision thing... yet. (Kinda seriously)

OK... I admit it... I was looking for something bad when I found their prices
AND
noticed they have private turned on.

I did not look nor do I plan to do so. I am not having any major problems with AS sniping. I investigated several services before I joined and found this service was overall the best for my needs.

Things change. Best to keep an open mind.

Well, Rick, I have lead a very sucessful life so I guess I will be just fine. I feel very confident in my decisions.

Oh YAY!! Guess I am sold

Links are still there. Looks like one less rule to worry about.

I want to thank all of you who gave me excellent advice on my first sniper attempt. I WON!!! It was like watching magic happen before my eyes. I sat with my ebay screen opened and kept hitting refresh counting down to the last few seconds and then boom...up came my name and seconds later.WINNER!!! Thank you all so much. This was a very needed item for my business.
Regards and good sniping to you all (except the items I want that I don't want you to get)
