Smarter Ebay sellers..... nope DUMB Ebay buyers

Some of us were raised in various financial situations, is part of it. I just had an x brother in law, leave this morning, he spent yesterday with us, while on a vacation trip seeing the country. He is sorta of a brother I never had. Anyway , he was raised in SW Ga in log house on a dirt floor, literally. Raised poor. He is 75. He got out of the air force, got a degree in accounting, worked in high paying job, wife taught school. I am sure he has savings of a million or two. He I a generous person, but so tight he sqweeks when he walks. He was raised that way and never got the mindset to not pinch pennies.
