I still think ebay's concept is great and ebay seems to have the dominant market share. The main thing that worries me is valuation when looking at this stock. The risk is just so high and I can't see the payoff matching this risk. At 25 cents per auction and %5 to %1 of all completed auction prices Ebay would have to really increase it's volumes to see the profits that would really make this thing fly. Or they are going to have to include ads, incorporate retail stores or do something to create value. This whole .com phenomenon is so amazing and it will be wonderful to look back on 10 years from now.
