Past Meetings
August 23, 2007
Agenda:
The Hammondsport MUG met in the Fred & Harriet Taylor Memorial Library from 7-9pm. Attending were Joe Y, Bob S, Tom B, Nancy C, Don H, Jerry L and Bob G.
Joe gave an excellent step-by-step presentation of how to set up a user account on eBay, followed by a demo of listing an item to sell. Many good tips, advice and suggestions were offered by various members of the group who have had experience buying or selling via the famous on-line auction business.
Last year eBay's 147 million registered users bought and sold over $34 billion in merchandise through the internet auction house.
