When I sell I try to be really fair as most folks on eBay do. I recently sold an item and said it needed "a good clean up". Somebody came to view and commented that it looked fine to them and why did I say it needed "a good cleanup?" The answer is simple, honesty pays - I knew I would give it a good cleanup before I used it again (cider press and mill) and didn't want come back. Said person won and paid a fee that we were both very happy with. RE the bandsaw, the person actually has really good feedback but I think eBay is geared up to avoid negative feedback as it impacts eBay profits. I am not sure the feedback system works very well on eBay.To be fair I have done really well on eBay. I have got some great bargains - especially blacksmith equipment.</blockquote>
