Glad you got out of your QCOM.

Bye Bye E Toys. UPS warning in December. That is baaaad. YHOO goes the way of AOL deal?

Do you ever even click on banner ads? I make it a point not to. I buy stuff off of Ebay though all the time, though. This past month I bought vitamins, music, used books, Levis, RayBans, Harry potter Stuff, extra food processor accessories, bakeware. My husband bought a remote control truck, a remote camera, so he can steer it from his computer , seeing where it is going from the camera, Legos, software... Usually this stuff costs enough less on Ebay to cover the shipping. I'd hate to lose Amazon though I doubt I'd buy from them if the savings on two books didn't pay for shipping, which doesn't seem possible if they ever stop subsdizing the losses.

I don't know much about the EBAY business plan, but I think EBAY works for me on a long term basis.

<<Next it will be ebay and AMZN and that would be a real shame.>>

Greg - Now you are thinking!
AMZN - ZERO is a STRONG possibility IMHO, no kidding.

My actual target, however is $5

<<I see YHOO being taken out by some old world media company>>
Greg - agreed on YHOO - they should have tried to do what AOL did to Time Warner when they had the currency to do so. Now someone can take them out and have Broadcast.com and the YHOO aggregation/e-commerce/corporate package for a much more reasonable sum. Maybe Disney or FOX will take them out. I bought some calls last week in anticipation of such a move - maybe too early but it seems possible.
Best,
