What millionaire do you know that buys anything on the web, let alone luxury items?

Maybe this is a point and a counterpoint. Ebay frequently receives bids in the $50,000 plus range and occassionally in the quarter million to million dollar range:

$120,000 Frederic Remington Oil cgi.ebay.com

$800,000 Ruby bust of George Washington cgi.ebay.com

$60,000 Lamborghini cgi.ebay.com

$950,000 Motor Yacht cgi.ebay.com

My point being: Ebay has already captured some of the market that Millionaire.com hopes to capture.

My counterpoint being: I think it's a little premature (and arrogant) of you guys to predict how the ultra-rich will react to a web site targeting them.

However, it is disconcerting that the company is OTC.
