Comparing Ebay's auction numbers to Yahoo's does not tell the whole story. I was amazed at a little basic research I did. I typed in a few basic colors in both Yahoo and Ebay's main search box. For both searches, 50 auctions were returned. Almost all of the results returned were ending in less than 2 hours for both Ebay and Yahoo. Here are the sum of bids on each webpage for each color keyword typed in: Yahoo: "Red"------8 bids on 6 different auctions "Blue"-----16 bids on 7 auctions "Yellow"---15 bids on 3 auctions "Green"----no bids on any auctions Amazon: Red------no bids on any auctions Blue-----no bids on any auctions Yellow----6 bids on 2 auctions Green-----7 bids on 3 auctions Ebay: Red-----119 bids on 34 auctions Blue----125 bids on 28 auctions Yellow--159 bids on 26 auctions Green----99 bids on 27 auctions Total Scores for 200 auctions ending in less than 3 hours: Yahoo --- 39 bids on 16 auctions Amazon -- 13 bids on 5 auctions Ebay ---- 502 bids on 115 auctions Jimmy
