Hi Roger:

Thank you for pointing out this very interesting development.

A few observations:

1. Clearly, OnSale Exchange was not working for OnSale. I think this shows just how formidable eBay has become.

2. If anyone has a chance at making a serious run at eBay, Yahoo would certainly be a possibility.

3. I think we'll know with 100 days whether Yahoo is going to be successful here.

4. I wonder whether Yahoo will ever charge for the auctions. That is where the real money is, at least in my opinion.

5. It will be interesting to see how much Yahoo improves Onsale Exchange, as I have always found Onsale Exchange to be a far inferior experience to that of eBay.

6. Maybe we'll be able to pick up the eBay shares cheaper, as a result.
