Had 4 auctions end today:
1 from Sweden
1 from Spain
1 with 2 feedbacks, no wins for a year
1 with 19 feedbacks, no wins for 6 months

Not one average buyer in the bunch.

Maybe because the average buyer is on, or dreads, the unemployment line?

I don't know. The theatre is definitely different.

Did the U.N. just get internet access? Out of 4 auctions last night, winners are from Sweden, Canada, Spain and the U.S. And the winner from Sweden has a Russian name. What gives?

These auctions were just for books, nothing weird.

considering the cost of internet access
in europe maybe they just browse
once in a while
and dont buy too much,
only the stuff they really cant find anywhere else (like your books..

you know there are russian people
all over the world, not only in russia,

and you already have RUS in your name
in slovak language RUS means Russian,
(on je rus - he is russian)
so maybe he felt comfortable buying from you, being a comrad and all....

Lots of recent Russian and Ukranian arrivals here in the Sacramento area. Just hold a garage sale and you'll meet most of them. They are a nice addition to our population. (I don't know what this has to do with the thread but I've written it so I might as well post it.)
