In fact, every minute of every day more than 150 new items are listed, more than 500 bids are placed, and seven new people register on eBay."

I gotta admit that those are impressive stats. Get out your calculator and start working forwards: Every 7 minutes, 1,050 new items listed. Every hour, 9,000 new items listed, and let's see..what? Yes, 30,000 bids are placed every hour. Doesn't anyone work anymore? -GG- I guess there's lots of independently wealthy folks who have nothing better to do than bid on stuff. Amazing. Actually I can think of lots of more interesting things to do. But that's just me, and maybe I'm different than all these e-bayers.
