<I also think that eBay has the online person-to-person market sewn up already. Yahoo is flailing offering free auctions, and doesn't seem to have the brain to do what is necessary to truly intrude on eBay's turf.> As always, Mark, thanks for you ongoing contributions to this thread. Granted ebay has a huge lead on yahoo - and I agree with your analysis. However, isn't it true that yahoo's monthly percentage increase in the number of auctions is outdistancing ebay's by a considerable margin? Aren't ebay's increasing at about 15% a month right now, while yahoo's are increasing at about 50% a month? Granted larger % increases are much easier to attain on a base less than 1/10 that of ebay's. Nevertheless, don't you think that yahoo's current momentum may actually be greater than ebay's?
