I always like Tim on the show, but he did seem so much more reckless than many of the other "Chasers"

This whole post smacks of arrogance. Essentially you want us to pat you on the back for giving a big, public “F you” to a competitor because you ASSUME that him wanting to chat means they want to acquire you? If this is how you act in casual online encounters then I’m starting to understand why online dating hasn’t worked out for you.
While I was there they were beginning to transition to a Microsoft Dynamics based system, which turned out to be a nightmare. Maybe it was a case of bad developers, but the guys working on this system seemed oblivious to the actual mechanics of what they needed to build.
When you’re working with time sensitive data, making a few adjustments in excel rather than logging requests to have some code fixed or updated can make a lot more sense.
What a load of shit. I'm 25, and I use ebay all the time.
Sure, you can make the argument that Etsy and Amazon are taking business away from eBay. But suggesting that they have replaced eBay as a platform is ridiculous. This is also a very USA-centric view to take. I'm from Australia, so using Amazon is a pain due to manufacturer export restrictions, and the often prohibitively expensive shipping costs. So in many cases eBay is a better alternative. And as for Etsy, it serves a niche. If you want to set up an online store to sell kitschy homemade toot, knock yourself out and use Etsy. But if I want to sell some of my second hand stuff, eBay is what I'm using.
