Why eBay can really stink

    I think it is best to start off this editorial by saying that I love eBay.  With all my heart.  Ever since I became a member (17th of January) I have been addicted to the auction house.  They have a large variety of stuff, and the NES selection keeps me coming back for more.  That having been said, eBay really sucks.
    I guess we're a little confused.  Don't worry, I'll explain.
    First off, I have only completed seven transactions off of eBay.  So don't think that this editorial is the bottom line.  Anyways, getting back on track, when one out of seven transactions goes wrong, you have the right to get mad, don't you?
    Saying this might keep some people from coming back to my site, but that's okay, I'll go ahead.  The transaction that went haywire was for an NES system and fourty-one games.  That's right, the NES system I currently own I have only had since February.  Anyways, the item description said "everything is in mint condition and games work grrreat with system."  Total b*******!  When I got the system, everything stopped working within one day.  Not even jiggling the carts and blowing in them (for hours, believe me) would help. 
    There was no way to see it coming.  The sellers feedback profile was impeccable.  It just goes to show - not everything is what it seems.
    Eventually, I bought a cleaning kit (off eBay) and everything works.
