G Wren: Thanks for the heads up on auctions...
with problems like that perhaps Ebay might be
just a twidge overpriced
Here's an interesting comparison:

11/25/98 4/26/1999
EBay Sothebys EBay
Years in Business 2 plus 220 plus
Revenues $32m $412m 53m
P/E Ratio 1999 1157.7 23.5 10006
Price/Sales 110.6 3.3 457.95
Price/Book 96.7 3.6 286.19
Market Cap $7.9B $958M $25.5B

The 11/25 column was put together by a short explaining
his position, OOPS!
The 4/26 is my update of selected items...I doubt that
Sotheby's changed much.
I agree that yahoo and others will command much
greater share of classifieds and that this will
not pleasant for newspapers since they have to
compete with high fixed cost bricks and mortar.
