Apparently you took the flea market comparison as disparaging and it was intended that way. Why? What's wrong with flea markets? I shop there regularly and have sold there many times. I usually get great deals there on either side of the transaction. I can say the same about Ebay. For Ebay to be a kind of vast internet flea market seems like a good thing.
- msla 7y ago> Why? What's wrong with flea markets? Low-quality goods and the increased possibility of scams.
- hirundo 7y agoI get plenty of low quality goods at Walmart and Amazon too, and plenty of scams as well. Sometimes it's the cheap goods I'm there for, and I don't expect high quality for that. Caveat emptor applies everywhere. The problem comes when you don't realize you're digging through crap looking for pearls and imagine that it's all pearls.
- chillacy 7y agoIt reads even more disparaging with context: > Nowhere. There's no other amazon. Ebay? The flea market of the internet? That's where people who wanted to sell to wal-mart go. If I wanted to make it sound good I'd call it a bazaar or something.
