Ebay just delisted a DVD of mine.  They delisted the same DVD a couple of years ago for copyright infringment.  After I wasted more time telling them that I and only I filmed the DVD in 1963, they allowed me to go through the process of listing it again.  Now, the same thing again.

I get so sick of this company.  I am no longer a power seller because they take all the profit.  Now, I list a few things and they can't even manage that. 

I still have an unresolved complaint that is several years old.  A guy sold about ten buyers some software.  He then vanished.  They got us some of our money back and then just did the same thing the seller did.  I get the message that I have an unresolved complaint and have been getting it for several years. 

Did I say that I'm sick of this company?

This is a message I received from an Austrian Prince who is an international banker and businessman:

I was visiting a client in Colorado Springs, another former Air Force man such as yourself, and I noticed a copy of your book on his shelf. I mentioned that we use Six Sigma in our offices and branches. He highly recommended your book.

As a side note, he offered to show me some of the Air Force Academy, at least that which is not restricted, and I was impressed. (Especially by the gliders they use that are parked by the Interstate.) We met some of his friends there and they drove me back to the airport where they seemed impressed by my Groen Bros HAWK.

As you are retired, and truly a gifted writer on management, I would be honored to consider you a friend. Personally, I think you missed your calling and should have saved companies such as Kmart who needed your expertise. All companies live or die by the tactics and strategies used by management. I have read books by former Navy and Marine Corp officers who have made serious contributions to corporate management, but your book is by far the best, in my humble opinion.

That is the way the new MBA's get your money.  Save a few cents on listing fees while the final value fees jump from 5.25 to 8.76 %.

If you sell $1,000 per month, you end up paying about $35 more to eBay.

Thats $420 more a year. 

You can get a 15% discount from the fee if you are the top seller.  So you get 15% off of the 8.76 %.  That reduces the final value fee to:  7.446%.

They tell you that they reward good sellers by only raising the final value fee to 7.446% from an already too high 5.25%.

Most sellers will be overwhelmed by the math and think they're saving.

This fee increase will do it for me.  eBay just priced me out of their market.  I own my own Websites:  arkansasbeat.com and fortsmithbeat.com

Elia Katz, author of Hill Street Blues and Simon & Simon said, "Gene McVay distills the vital essence of his years as a leader.... into a single volume that lives up to its title in every way."

Top Gun Management is like having a fireside chat with a man who ran a three billion dollar multinational organization.  He was an intelligence analyst at The National Security Agency, a fighter pilot and a candidate for governor who ran against Mike Huckabee.

Excerpt from TOP GUN MANAGEMENT: 

On Christmas Day, 1962, I was spending my first Christmas outside the United States at Wakkanai, Japan.  I entered the dining hall and began to eat Christmas dinner all alone.  The dining hall was completely empty except for the cooks and staff.  I was feeling a little sorry for myself when a civilian walked in and asked if he could join me.  It was Raymond William Stacey Burr.  At that time he was about half way through his hit TV series, Perry Mason, which won him two Emmy awards.  What started as my worst Christmas dinner quickly became my most memorable.  The great actor was familiar with my hometown.  He had fished many times in the Arkansas Ozarks. 
 Raymond Burr could have spent Christmas anywhere he pleased.  He unselfishly chose to spend it on the northern tip of Japan with me.  He was a real Hollywood star who dated Natalie Wood and starred in movies, TV and radio.  He was also a generous man.  He donated his salary from the Perry Mason Movies to charity.  He once sponsored 27 foster children through the Christian Children's Fund. He would take the children with the greatest medical needs.  This is what I mean by noblesse oblige.
