One persons junk could be another persons treasure. All you have to do is watch Antiques Roadshow on PBS to see what we mean. Online auction houses, of which eBay is by far the largest, are an internet phenomena that have really taken hold during the past couple of years, and with good reason. Instead of holding a garage sale and hoping that someone will stop by to look at your items, you can now have international visibility and perhaps find someone who really wants your item and is willing to pay top-dollar. If you have ever wondered what is involved in buying and selling things on the internet, then the October meeting of the Danbury Area Computer Society may be just the thing for you. The presentation will be by our own father-and-son tag team, and experienced eBay buyers and sellers, Bruce and Scott Preston.Topics to be covered will include: What the heck is eBay?
DACS General Meetings are open to the public and are usually held on the first Tuesday of the month, at the Danbury Hospital auditorium. The eBay presentation will be held on Tuesday, October 9th, 2001, starting with the Random Access session (computer-related questions and answers from the audience) starting at 7:00 p.m. Following a very brief business meeting consisting of a few announcements, etc. The featured eBay presentation will start about 8:00 p.m., and lasts about an hour. |
