The Original Ebay?


I took this photo when I went to the Bartons bus depot centenary celebration. I couldn't resist it. I bet the guy who originally wrote this out couldn't imagine that many years later the same word would be used for a global Internet auction site. I've used Ebay quite a lot and have got some bargains. I've also bought some duds. But then I guess it's the chance you take when buying something from just a photo and description.

  1. Ha ha, I like the sign.

    Have you heard the ebay song by Weird Al Yancovic? Worth a listen!

  2. This is why you have lasted the distance. Well spotted and nice title. I stopped using ebay when someone was selling my Lou Reed concert photos as signed by Lou Reed himself. You can imagine what a stink I kicked up.
