Copeland,
The Street likes to value based on forward earnings. That brings EBAY's PE down to ONLY 621 or so. That's not to bad if you estimate EBAY is going to grow earnings to about $100 per share before the next millennium, post split of course.
E-commerce is going to take over the world you know. EBAY's business model gives them about a 99.9% margin. Since the economy is shifting to service/info and it's going to melt down and stop all the factories, the only items for sale will be the pre-owned junk you'll only be able to buy at EBAY. Ergo EBAY is going to garner ALL business at virtually all profit. You think $103 is too high to pay for THAT!

I think it is the kind of 'unbelievable' things we see at the top of 8 year long bull market (with no correction greater than 10%). We have become disconnected from business value some time ago. At the top of a bull market it is always 'what goes up, goes up'.
