  1. LOL.

    Meg had better catch-up and make some Westerns:

    The Good, the Bid and the Ugly?

    The Magnificent Seven (day multiple fixed price listing)?

    “Go on punk, make by eBay.”

  2. A Fistful of Dollars (is against our accepted payments policy; remember PayPal is the only safe way to pay)

    The BIN Country

    Broke and NARU

    Rawhide (I’ve had too many pinkslaps) starring Tyrone Powerseller

    and that Reagan classic, Bedtime for Bonanzle

  3. Not a Western but the advent of Best Offer meant that recording of the old Archer classic “Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less” had to be stopped. 😉

  4. Well, Fenlex, if we’re moving onto Jeffrey Archer, I do hope you’re not going to tell us that Best Match makes you First Among Equals? 😉

  5. Re loads of small businesses are flocking to Twitter.

    Can someone explain to me how it is 1 in 10 firms think they have saved £5K by using Twitter? Am I missing something?

  6. #8 The way I read it Eddie is this, firms are using Twitter as a recruitment tool, the saving is made by not paying a commission to a recruitment firm, it all sounds a bit barmy to me but I have learnt over the years never to under estimate the power of the web.

  7. Finally got around to signing up for my twitter account today. Still finding out how it can benefit us as a business. Need to get the tech guy onto creating an API I think.
