Interesting thread. I just wanted to add one twist about an indirect
benefit. A local person purchased some very interesting early 19th
century manuscript election rolls via eBay from an individual several
states away. He then brought them in for me to photocopy. Thus eBay
enabled us to recapture important local information that in all
liklihood would have otherwise remained lost.
