I was contemplating Jeb Stuart earlier and I came up with this; lets see what yall think...
From what I can tell, most people either seriously overestimate his abilities or heavily underestimate them. The overestimation maybe comes from the ride around McClellan or the dominance of the Yankee...
Maybe the best idea is to treat ebay like the stock market. With everything in the proverbial toilet, buy low, store it for a couple of years, and when the market rebounds sell high.
