You want to get my stuff yanked go right ahead if it makes you feel good
that's exactly what I am talking about.
The reason I add those extra search items is to make it easier for someone
searching for the olive parts to find them.
The only way you will return those extra items in a search is if you click
search items and descriptions its that simple nothing sinister.
You ever wonder why you get 31 items when you search on M35 and you get 127
items when you click search items and descriptions
Selling a matched set of M151 Belts for $10.00 is not going to make me rich
it is a waste of time if you think about what goes into it. I do not need
them and someone else might so rather than sit on them I offer them up at a
decent price for use.
Sorry if you feel put off by that, its not personal. Taking the time to
email ebay to have someone's stuff yanked because its fun now that's
personal....
Dave
