Since I occasionally trade eBay. Before the breakdown, the auction count was 30% over the # 13 weeks earlier. I think you got a very good price selling at 159. I think that price is gone for a long time.

ebay: Sarmad, that figure is the growth % over the last 13 weeks. Yes, auction growth has slowed considerably. In January 13-week auction growth was around a lightning 70% I believe. Of course, current auction growth may be temporarily impacted by ebay's recent system problems. But it had slowed to under 40% before those difficulties. Needless to say, Doug Fowler on the ebay thread is the expert on auction counts. Rob, I really do not follow Ebay but seasonality may be an issue here too. Glenn
