Any thoughts on what eBay will likely begin to trade at? Like most others in this thread I am not able to get in on the IPO. I have two options. I can place an order prior to opening in which I set a top price and hope that I am able to pick up stocks at a reasonable price. Or I can wait until trading begins and then place an order. Each strategy has its risks. How are others who are not able to get in on the IPO thinking about handling this? Thanks in advance.

eBay is going to put the newspaper classified advertising for the sale of most non-automotive items out of business. Last month I paid the Port Arthur News $53 for a week-long classified ad. That is outrageous. The newspapers can't compete with the pricing or the wide audience reach. Also a majority of the items for sale are from dealers. Just wait until the public realizes they too can sell their items. eBay has just scratched the surface and tremendous growth lies ahead without branching out into some other business.
