I do find it amusing that any regular poster on these boards can be so gung-ho that to access free listings of any type, one must receive an email invitation.

eBay is just not that reliable in this area.  My own and others experience have proved that, over and over again.

I do not know how anyone (save an eBay employee) could claim otherwise. 

Maybe others would just like to have the link to try and see it for themselves - no harm in trying, is there ?
