Pauly
>> the number of bids is a leading indicator of revenue>>
There are few internet companies that are leaders, well positioned to take advantage of the net growth (such as YHOO,AOL,and CD) with "real revenue" rather that "indicator of revenues". It's way too premature to count ONSALE and its business as one of those companies and pay premium price to own its stock.
I'm a big believer in Ecommerce, you and I will be buying stuff at great discounts over the net "without auction".
ONSL is the best short among net stocks.

Yes, I do indeed "seem to be assuming that all of ONSL's revenues come from
commission-based sales." Tell me why "This is only a small portion of their total sales.".
