KEEPING ACTIVE VIA EBAY

"This week's E-Sylum mentions eBay in two separate items. I find eBay sellers are quite chatty. I bought a book from a Maine dealer and dropped her a line why I was buying it. I was working on two books and a film script, I mentioned, and that I was 69 but staying active by writing while retired.

She wrote back that she was 74 and selling books was her passion, and that at this age you have to be passionate about something!

Also, I wish the use of the term Mint as a condition would not be permitted on eBay. While searching for Denver Mint up came "Denver Co Mint" but was a postcard of the Denver skyline in mint condition. I have yet to learn how to search for our kind of mint, and eliminate the word for the condition of the piece."
