I don't have a position in it either Brian, but I think they've done pretty well at locking up the auction biz. I've bought a couple things on Ubid but they don't sell collectables. I've looked at Bidville, but there isn't much in the way of buyers, so even though they have no fees to sell and presumably sellers can offer goods cheaper, what good is it if there isn't much action? I haven't really noticed that they have cheaper prices either. Yahoo auctions last time I looked weren't all that great... expensive and not many unique sellers. Same with Amazon. If ebay were to continue to raise fees, then maybe someone else could gain share. Corporations even use ebay. I suppose they can open their own auctions, but ultimately sellers go where the buyers are. Just like in real estate.... location, location, location. TA
