Recently, I've noticed an insidious little trend creeping in to sales of some 300 used parts on e-Bay. You make more! Apparently. I don't think it's a good thing, greed seems to be taking over, more and more. I ran into the take apart practice with auction items being lot packaged by the handling auction company at an auction in 1973. I had to bid on lot quantities of strange things just to get whole tools that I wanted. The practice is used to maximize sales etc and the practice was totally acknowledged by the auction company when I asked a company rep. Warren Anderson Sedona,AZ
