I went to the Swapmeet in HB on Saturday and found a fez complete with hat box and they were asking twenty bucks for it. I figured that that is what I'd pay on e-bay anyway so I picked it up. If it wasn't for e-bay, would they have know what they had. I don't think so. Vendors can research very easily now on the internet as to what they have and what it's worth. It's a crying shame for those of us that like the thrill of the hunt. Now if I can just find a monkey on ebay to wear the fez. They do sell live animals on e-bay, right?
