Made a little speculation on what goes and what not
regarding internet trade - FWIW:

The areas that will work IMO are:
Books - Music - Watches - Computers and computer accesories -
Software - Certain types of art, like posters -
Fancy jewelry - some furniture,like closets and drawer-closets -
Brand Sports equipment - Brand household equipment. -
Slimming nutritionals. All typical mail-order things.
Less typical mail-order, but often telephone
ordered are Tickets and Travel.

SFAD - High Society Mall - No way -
Those shoppers want to be seen in The Shop -
Buying outside the limelight is only for the kinky stuff :-)

EBAY - OK at a price of 25 <G>IMO - beauty there, is that
they have no goods cost - great idea there. Now price going
towards 250 - over 5000 trades of the shares a day -
Imagine what happens when it start going south say
eg. when CNBC anal-ist say way too overvalued and
raises warning flags !
Lots of people being burned, scaring scenario.

----------------------------------
Comparing EBAY MLRE:

EBAY works fine for blue collar John Smith - He's able
to trade the 35 years old barbie and get a good price -
Or aunt Anna's old rocking chair. -
Jens Tingleff is able to buy some great gem-stones
to have nice custom jewelry made for his wife.

There are millions of John Smith and Jens Tingleff out here.

Now millionaire.com want The Rockefellars to buy
fine cigars and participate in high value goods
auctions via the web - Hm...

Now where is the volume? - Not that many millionaires out here -
(I suppose they want to be seen at "Christies" too.)

Also watch out for the Packard-effect:
If a "thing" is available for both "rich" and "poor",
neither want it.!!!!!!!!!!!!
----------------------------------

MLRE up 80% friday - Now, Watch it closely and get out in time.

For the PC-GEEKS here is the millionaire-sites content for ordering the
magazine - It looks as if they are quite some miles from being
able to make real interactive sites, doesn't it?:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/cgi-bin/mailform">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="mailto" VALUE="subscribe@millionaire.com">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="if_ok" VALUE="http://millionaire.com/thanks.htm">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="if_error" VALUE="http://millionaire.com/error.htm">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="subject" VALUE="your subject line">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="MAIL_IS_FROM" VALUE="subscribe@millionaire.com">

( To check that above is the correct content:
open the site - right-click mouse and chose "view source")

For the non geeks - this mean that the form one can fill there,
is just plain e-mailed to subscribe@millionaire.com !!!-
So there is no imediate payment transaction checking -
AND not even a secure entry of your CreditCard!!!!!!!!
So in this case your creditcard jumps via open lines
several times:
1) when you post it
2) when it is mailed to the mil-email.box
3) when they read it at mill.com offices. !!!!!

If that site is up and running at feb.1.1999 then I'll eat my
mousepad.
