Any word as to when the new site for Business 2 Business E-Commerce will be announced? Some over at YHOO board mentioned this coming Monday. Anyone, has any other info on the subject. BTW: I think this is definitely a value play and with YHOO's close relationship I wouldn't be surprised if we might end up with YHOO shares in the near future. This is only speculation of course however, YHOO' acquisition of ONSALE will add to its revenue stream and solidify its E-COMMERCE model to battle against AOL/NSCP. Remember that both YHOO and ONSL have SOFTBANK as their parent (per say) so a consolidation in this relationship will not surprise me. YHOO shares due to their high valuations could easily acquire ONSL. Again, this is purely speculation but it would make sense in the long run. I believe YHOO's model needs to diversify further and ONSL should be its base. News of this deal would send YHOO and ONSL on fire as it would be seen by analysts as a WIN ~ WIN DEAL. IMHO Hector
