Boy am I glad I shorted some more at $87 today. If any of you are familiar with ebay - CGI is down tonight which means no bidding on items. We are very active sellers on ebay 1,000 plus comment and in the past ebay would go through spells where you just wouldn't list items for a week or more because you could not rely on the system to allow bidders to bid. In the past 2 weeks in seems as if these same troubles are creeping back on us. Fortunately we don't have any items which end tonight, but we are trying to bid on an item before we have to go away tonight. We like ebay alot but not at these prices and if bidders and sellers can't bid or sell - revenues will be hurt. We've been using ebay for almost 3 years so we know the problems when they start to happen, I only hope this one doesn't last too long especially since ebay is advertising more now. Glenn
