Web sites and comic sales

AND I RESPOND:

Great start, Ciro!  The layout is clean and attractive with excellent use of
the navigation pane.  I'm looking forward to seeing the site grow (unlike my
poor, stagnant, neglected $CROOGE McDUCK PAGE).

THEN (ON ANOTHER TOPIC) POUL SAYS:

> Hi guys -check out this link (ebay): 
> http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZdonrosacollection
> -or is it a hoax?

AND I VERIFY:

This is far from a hoax.  I saw much of Don's collection at the Sand Diego
Comic-Con where it was on display, and the eBay listings are quite accurate
about the condition of the books.  I know Don will not self-promote (the
eBay sales are being handled by a regular comic dealer), but I have no
problem offering this one-time assurance that the auctions are legitimate,
and the books are in the absolute best shape I have ever seen for used
comics.

This is not a sales pitch, just an answer to Poul's question.  Readers know
whether they want to buy old comic books or not, and there is no need for me
to prod them.
