[QUOTE="bmasters9, post: 409219, member: 77"] When it comes to EBay, one thing I strongly dislike (I shop for vintage newspapers there a lot): when sellers price their wares far out of proportion to the items being sold. Take this Dallas Times Herald front part for Thursday, May 17, 1990, which is only the front part of the first 18 pages, with the headlines of the deaths of Sammy Davis, Jr. and Jim Henson (at 64 and 53 respectively); the asking price for just that one part (of 18 pages) is an astronomical $150, plus $4.63 shipping, and who knows how much tax, which means you're spending a pretty penny for practically nothing (outside of being a fan of either Davis, Jr. or Henson).
