New ebay twist? Make a PDF of manual and sell it? Message #1 Posted by Gene on 7 July 2002, 1:23 p.m. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1364986185 This is the TI-58/59 Service manual. If I am reading the ad correctly, the seller will deliver the manual as a PDF file or on a CD ROM. Imagine that...you would never run out of the item being sold. Gene

I believe eBay has rules about this.... http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-copyrighteditems.html

Re: New ebay twist? Make a PDF of manual and sell it? Message #3 Posted by Ellis Easley on 8 July 2002, 6:54 a.m., in response to message #1 by Gene I've seen a xerox copy being sold on Ebay twice with the very same JPEGs each time. At least once was from Germany. I don't know why this guy is just offering one copy - he should make it a dutch auction with infinite units available! He should state how many megabytes the file is, so a person could decide whether to get the CD.
