we do agree that ebay is no threat
ebay is classified ads over the net
not that hard to copy
there should have a dozen immitators
over the next year
ebay has good management
but they will eventually need to compete
with the talent of yhoo+onsl
when you add this together with
the business auctions + the present auction site
onsl looks like it will be one of the top sites
over the next few years
remember when apple was the killer machine?
msft would never be able to imitate them

if you are a trader then ebay is a great investment
if you are a long term investor
buying onsl on sell-offs is a great long term plan
i bought in at 17, take 1/4-1/3 off the top on rallies
and will hold for the long term

onsl has products, management, and partnerships
that is the indgredient for success--longterm success
