I guess that I was irritated seeing items listed that shouldn't be. I am no longer a stool pigeon.  Smiley

Good thing you didn't see the complete Ballard Union Hill I bought as parts in four auctions on Ebay! I was nervous when the bare barreled receiver finally hit Ebay and I got it within 5 minutes of being listed.

That wouldn't have bothered me since it's pre 1898 and an antique.

Ebay gone ??  what does that mean ??   I have had trouble searching for weeks now. Is it officially gone ?


Ebay isn't gone. It's still there and most people can still buy gun parts there, unless you're like me! Somehow Ebay has some glitch in their system that has them thinking I'm not in the USA. Even though a dozen different Pakistani Ebay agents acknowledge I am in the USA. They all promised to fix it, but I still can't buy any gun parts for sale on Ebay, and I gave up trying after losing 8-9 hrs. on the phone with Ebay idiots who don't fix the issue.
This is what I get whenever I try to purchase even a stock or gun grips:

"This item isn’t available in your location as it may be regulated by Part 121 of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Only U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. can buy this item. See our Military items policy for more information.{e301547-1"
  

At least you're not alone. Years ago, Sen. Pete Domenici, from New Mexico, received an IRS notice that some property he had would be taxed unfavorably, or something, because it was in   New Mexico, and not in the U.S.! He eventually got it unscrambled. Maybe if you wrote Senator in front of your name....

The New Mexico Magazine had each month a section called "One of Our 50 is Missing" that had examples of this kind of error. 60 years ago when I told people that I was going to the University of New Mexico a standard response was "do you speak Spanish?".

From time to time, I have sent people postcards from exciting Las Vegas New Mexico, that really confuses'em!
