Responding to Christopher Gray's post on E-bay:

There are obvious rights questions and problems for public use, but for
private use, I find the images on E-bay items to be very useful for many
different reasons.  A quick right-click of the mouse, and the image is
stored safely on my desk top for later personal use.  The search feature
on E-bay is extremely fast, and the images load quickly on a broadband
connection.  As a resource for study or background information, E-bay
rivals the best educational sites and is much easier to use.
