Wave to eBayers on Times Square Cam!
Some enthusiastic eBayers will be making an appearance on the Internet on Friday on the Times Square Web cam! The group, led by Canadian eBayer Christine (http://www.mrsdressup.ca) will pose for the camera at 11 am EST on November 5. They are volunteering at the ING New York City Marathon and had the idea to wave to family, friends and fellow eBayers while in New York. Thanks to Christine for letting us know, we'll be on the lookout for you!
