That is exactly what you have to do if you want to find something on 
ebay and get it at a decent price.  When I put out the effort to search 
for that missing piece of equipment that I want, I don't want to be 
penalized when someone who has no interest in the item blows the 
whistle to alert those who put out no effort at all to find it.

I am going to retire July 1.  I have spent the past year trying to 
accumulate the cameras and lenses I will need to keep me busy and help 
me make a little extra money in my retirement.  The only way I know to 
make money is to buy low and sell high.  I don't ask for anyone to pimp 
the items that I have for sale nor to alert the world to the bargains I 
have found.

There have been a lot of items that I have seen come and go on ebay 
while I waited for what I thought was a fair or bargain price.  There 
are enough JCO's ;-) on ebay to keep use poor slobs honest.  If someone 
wants to get an item at either a fair or outlandish price, I say let 
them put out a little effort as well.
