Sergio, Thanks for the stuff on EBAY and ETYS. Re: the EBAY wireless, I don't think it's a big deal. Last week I starting bidding on Pokemon beanie babies for my kid and quickly learned that if you bid anytime before the last 15 seconds of the auction you are really just bidding against yourself and jacking the price up. And you will lose anyway. I have yet to "win" any of these, and for that I think I'm grateful given the dollars this stuff is going for! So given there is plenty of time to get a final bid in, I don't think savvy buyers will care about the wireless service. BWDIK! All that said, I'm long EBAY. As for ETYS, this is simply a great company with an intuitive, even informative catalogue given the way they categorize toys. Plus they have an outstanding e-commerce engine. Have also used Toys 'R Us site - it's slower and pretty kudgy. Phil
