Online Shoppers Buying For Themselves This Christmas 30 Nov 1998, 3:40 AM CST By Adam Creed, Newsbytes. SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., More than 60 percent of online shoppers are buying gifts for themselves when they're supposed to be shopping for others, according to the ClickRewards' 1998 online shopping survey by Caravan. Web-surfing shoppers also cite other reasons for their online shopping according to the survey. Avoiding lines and crowded parking lots are some of the most compelling reasons for using their credit card on the Internet for their Christmas shopping. Of the 1,000 US adults surveyed, 25 percent said they can avoid the long lines, while 13 percent said they enjoy shopping in their pajamas and 10 percent each said they have more time for family and friends and don't have to fight for a parking space at the mall. Survey sponsor, ClickRewards, added to the incentives to buy online this Christmas with the addition of new online retailers to its ClickMiles shopping network, including Club Computer, Cooking.com, E*Trade and Sports Superstore

Mr./Ms. zurdo, go do your homework and research a few posts. I WAS long and am in no need to short this stock. It sounds to me, you are obviously not only long but possibly worried about today's drop! If I was short, trust me, I've been at this long enough, I don't use scare tactics to convince MYSELF I made the right move. I don't really care what others think either. I hope you don't trade like you conjecture. sz

INTERNET STOCKS are known for their volatility however, they're also known for their explosive growth of revenues. The net industry will grow at multiples never seen by current analysts and so called experts. The net community doubles every 6 months and it's not slowing down. Less than 18% of all Europe are online. This industry is just taking shape however, first mover corporations will have the advantage in the long run. E-Commerce will spread beyond domestic borders and into international fronts. ONSALE already has in the works ONSALE JAPAN in collaboration with SOFTBANK. E-COMMERCE will be larger than CNBC experts predict. When computers where first introduced to the markets they were merely fancy word processors. Yet, in less than 10 years they have changed they way we govern, do business, educated, shop, and communicate. Don't think about what ONSL will do tomorrow or next week. Think about the potential it holds 1, 2, 5, and even 10 years from now. AOL, MSFT, INTC, CSCO all began as pioneers in their industry not knowing exactly the full potential of their business models. Now, just 10 years later look at them now. ONSL has been around longer than EBAY, it dwarfs EBAY's revenues, and it's already positioned to be the LEADER IN BUSINESS TO BUSINESS E-COMMERCE. With the rapid growth of the net, their revenue growth, and e-business executions; PROFITS will be achieved a lot sooner than you think. This is a growing industry and ONSALE will grow with the industry. <IT IS REALLY THAT SIMPLE> To discount this company's future potential by MM price manipulation is the same as discounting the growth of E-COMMERCE. I for one will not sell my ONSL shares at these flea market prices. After the third split and $100/shr in 2 years, I may consider selling some shares to even my portfolio. Remember the curve is always UP!!!! RULE #1 "DON'T GET EMOTIONAL ABOUT STOCKS" IMHO: ONSALE will declare a STOCK SPLIT by MARCH '99 of 2 for 1 after trading in the $180 - $210 mark. This will be the first of 3 splits to be recorded in the next 2 years. Increase in bandwith will speed the net growth even faster leading to more users and shoppers online. The growth continues to speed up and ONSALE is well positioned to profit from it. $61.50? Sure! After 3 splits but not before then!!!!! Hector
