I think we should be comparing MALL+80% of UBID, MALL has sales of 600Million alone and earned a profit..ONSL is $60 for the Qtr ended 9/30/98 ONSL has revs of 57Mil in revs and a LOSS of 3+ Mil MALL had revs of 185 Million-20.7 Mil for UBID or 164 Million and turned a small profit 0.04/share Where does that Put MALL? OVER $60 Easily ONSL>http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1026506/0001012870-98-002914.txt MALL sec.gov

The words "a few investors may be mistaken to compare EBAY to UBID" might be misleading. When reading UBID's S-1, it was clear that in the BIG picture, EBAY and UBID are competitors. No matter how you want to slice it, both companies are in the Internet auction business, albeit with different types of business models. After Wall Street has viewed EBAY's meteoric rise to an over $8 billion market cap and ONSL's prodigious rise this past week to a market cap exceeding $1 BILLION, I believe that more than "a few investors" are eagerly awaiting the arrival of UBID's IPO. ***Off Topic: The good news is that UBID does not sell marijuana! Do you think EBAY can be charged with drug trafficking?
