Vic, some people don't think eBay is perfect. I'll not short it or buy it. I've only been to eBay once and that was to look at collector motorcycles which I have an interest in. I do know a gal who sold her $4,000 piano for $5,000 on eBay though. I guess the buyer was to too stupid to shop around. thestreet.com Btw I'm leaving for New York thursday morning. Why don't you come down and burn my hotel down?;)

Glenn, is EBAY a tech stock, or a retail stock? I suppose there a tiny bit of overlap but I can't think of an aspect at the moment. Ebay sells nothing but the use of their technology. In other words, no physical products. I would not call it a pure tech play. They are part Landlord as in a shopping center developer. They just do not need to deal with appreciation or depreciation of real estate. I would call them tech in the general sense. The more technology features they can add that helps selling or buying, the more money they can make.
