MV>Excellent!  What is this Ebay thing?
It's an auction service on the web.  You list an item by describing it
and linking to pictures if you have a website or webspace storage.  You
can set a minimum bid at what you are willing to sell it for or you can
set a very low min bid and a "reserve" that is your actual min selling
price.  Bidders don't know the reserve price until it's been met.  At
the end of the auction (3, 5 or 7 days) you contact the seller and
arrange the payment and shipping method (usually specified in your
listing).  Ebay gets a small listing fee (.50-1.00) and a percent of the
selling price if your reserve bid is met.  It's something like 2.5% of
the first $25 and 1.5% over $25 up to $500 or something.  It's all out
there at cayman.ebay2.com.
I just sold my 1964 Gibson LG1 for $333.  I probably could have gotten
$350 but I set the reserve at $333 and you are obligated to sell if your
reserve price is met.
There probably aren't too many real bargains out there but you might
find something you like at the going market price.
