I had one phone conversation with Sly a few years ago, and now I don't even look at his listings. On most of the "auction" sites, you are, in fact, wasting your time. The problem is that every once in a while, an actual reasonable deal comes up. Sometimes you get lucky, but you waste a lot of time looking at high priced junk listed by sellers who are stupid, greedy, uninformed, unresponsive, crusty, incompetent, and sometimes crooked. There are a few good guys, but it takes time to figure out who they are. The sellers on this site are generally the good guys, and know what they are selling, but this is not an auction site.
