blankmind,

Auctions are great, and you'd know this if you were a seller. The largest audience of buyers, for most items people sell everyday, will be at eBay. You won't find everything you want in the Yahoo classifieds, but for fun, let me know if these items (see below) are available there.

An average of six different bidders on each of these auctions (and no, I'm not a big seller at all, but just wanted to sell some camera equipment I wouldn't use much ever again):

- Classifieds make sense.

If you checked out www.ebay.com, you would realize that a significant number of auctions work like classified.

Auctions are stupid & have to be a fad

Right. Because auctions didn't exist before Ebay came along and they won't exist after Ebay goes bankrupt.

- If I need a 5 1/4" hard drive for my old pc; I'm going to Yahoo's classifieds - I wouldn't even think of an auction - too ridulous

Why?
