Terry et al Not technical here just some input. I had never been a seller on ebay. Was a buyer in the early days of ebay---when it was America hometown. Now ebay has "power sellers" and "store fronts"----it is a nightmare to wade through. I decided to try selling on ebay some collectible items-----took a lot of time to set up to do this. Finally accomplished, then I find that ebay has listing fees and then you can enhance your listing with bells and whistles for a cost. Then if you sell they take a percentage. And, if you don't sell then you are out your fees for listing an item that did not sell. And, if an item doesn't sell you can relist it within 60 days and when it sells the listing fees for the relisting get reimbursed if it sells the second time around. Then there is the time used to do the listings-----if I have paid myself a penny an hour I would be amazed. I am now looking for a local buyer off of ebay as it is not effective or profitable for me to pursue this avenue. I am reminded of the early conglomerates that ran into trouble. Thus I pose a question -----has Ebay grown too large like the conglomerates did and too fast------has its growth already been accounted for in the stock's previous runup. mj
