Bruce: Since you took the time and had the fortitude to take on an analysis of eBay in considerable depth here, I assume - and hope - that the Godzilla board you refer to in the following excerpt from your last post are among the company board/threads (which I agree are sadly shallow with rare nuggets) [the Q threads are valuable exceptions IMO] not this thread. <g> "I'm not going to jump over to any stock message boards to chat about it, because I prefer to do the work myself to get a handle on it with my own methods before jumping into the fire of a Godzilla message board which looks to me to consist of about 95 percent sludge and a lot of mouse clicking to get to any substance." Best of luck re the audition. And thanks again for the substance and analysis you provide here. Cha2

Bruce: Amazon is much broader in its coverage than it was when the GG revision was actually written. The idea of selling Amazon space to others is a powerful one IMO and also the type of products being sold by Amazon itself is rapidly expanding.
