i've been here and there and everywhere... being very marginally profitable and making enough money to support a pe even as low as a 100 (yeah i'd wait 100 years to get my money back) are two different things... how much does ebay make if my mag's go for $ 25 ...hmmm

>>EBAY has been profitable from day One!<< Olu, your right, but so are most companies (in the old days, before this revolution) when they go public. Did you know I've never been to a eBay site until yesterday when I followed Williams link? I was impressed.I'm an old stero buff and when I saw old Mac's being auctioned it made me almost want to bid. The problem I have is I'm not a collector of antiquities. Here's a thought for you eBay bulls, that might light your fire. I have a 92 Porsche Cabriolet C2 that I bought brand new, and it still only has 20k miles on it. I love this car, and won't let anyone go near it. I'm told in a fire sale I could only get 35k , but If I put it on eBay, and held my price I might be able to get 60-65k for it. So the question is how many auction sites are there? Or would I be better of going to an auto collectors web-site? Ps My porsche is not for sale, unless I lose my ass betting Amzn, and eBay down. If that happens would any of you bulls or momentum players, want to make me an offer? No insults please!
