>>In 2Q99, Glenn.

We've been through this before. She did not say in Q2, the WSJ quoted her as saying that the auction business isn't likely to be a major contributor to Amazon's revenue for 'some time' (and that it will take significant investment).

Did she revise her comment, or are you interpreting 'some time' as a qtr?

Amazon will not be able to compete with eBay. I wouldn't be suprised to see them bow out of the auction business in a year.
