I thought it was a valid would you hit it also. My opinion on it is, only drunk. IT's for both parties really lol. Those who know ebay and those who don;t give a shit about the question. 2 birds in a sense. Those who don;t enjoy the question are left with a nice would you hit it.
Hey, this is actually a good idea, a thread with two different topics,
Even if you have no answer to the original question you're still left with a would you hit it, quite the combo!

You reach out to two different member-bases of the board with one thread, that's pretty inventive!
That would like Marty starting a thread about, Hey im fighting UFC in a year in a city in my town as well as a Quantum-physics related question at the end.
