    Good fun! I think John Cleese should watch out, and Dan should consider

    I think Dan could *teach* that, Lynne: if you can deal with the hecklers at eBay Uni, the Comedy Store would be a cinch.

    Well, glad you enjoyed it. I personally beleive that nothing is as scary as presenting at eBay University as you stand up and hear the low hum of disatisfaction from 200 Powersellers. ;o)

    great idea , and awell presented clip very watchable,
    its upload time and production time thats stops me using it,
    but if I sold just a few styles and types of item it would be on every auction I listed

    My Scouse/Geordie/ Scots mix would need MI5 to decode it

    Ah North, maybe you should play the James Bond theme tune in the background…

    dum diddy dum diddy dum diddy dumdum…

    Dan, is that an audible hum or a smelly one?

    I (lanky lad) was a ‘video virgin’ until a few weeks ago, and now use one in my auction - I personaly think video is the way to go, so much so I am selling an ‘aid’ that will help sellers like Northy :-)
