Now, I know my karmic balance will be off because I feel really glad for this.

But after last week, Ebay can go scratch.

I am glad that eBay is not doing well, but I feel bad for the people who have lost their jobs.

7 3/8!

Never worn.

In its original box.

It's brown with a goldish braid and a little feather.

I believe brown is the new black.

I do feel sorry for the people who lost their jobs, but after last week...after the absolute non-caring attitude of their customer service...

The company itself can go scratch.
