It is not the saving of money that is important.
It is the chase!
The prey has been capture, excitement received, and maybe something useful has been purchased.

These folks get myopic and never look anywhere except eBay. It's like they never heard of Google.
I get several calls a week from members or potential members who are looking for a certain part and want to know where they can get it. I usually locate at least one source, sometimes several while I have them on the phone. My secret bag of knowledge? Google.

We all felt more comfrotable in a world where we could go to that Guru on the mountain and get the definitive, absolute, devine truth and knowledge. And it turns out it's just some guy behind the curtain with access to Google. All hope is lost! Oh, worry, worry.
