Well, I definitely would like to see a link to BRICKS, then.  If
enough other people want a link to JABA on there that's fine with me
as well.  As a potential buyer I'd like to see several others also.

Yeah, I was kinda wondering about the handful of people who seem to
sell exclusively on eBay - the people who always have items running,
so a link to their member page should always show stuff.

'Course (shameless plug) if those people started using BRICKS
(probably never get the same amount of exposure, but it is _free_)
they would be covered.

Still, I think a good Lego search link would be cool for eBay.

You know, I didn't know for sure what you meant when I first responded
to this as I had never seen the /market/shopping/ page.  Now I have
and it seems much more clear that this is a good thing.

Whoa, now that I look at the /market/auction/ page, there ARE links
there!

Um, Todd, did you just up and do this without mentioning it or have
you been chuckling while I've happily made a food of myself?  :)  As
an aside, give me another week to make sure quite a few auctions run
through BRICKS properly, and I'd appreciate a link to it so people
know they can sell their stuff for free through it.
