And today's an entirely new day. Weak hands shaken out, bottom hit, and a strong upward showing on good volume in a bad market. It appears that the tide has turned.

Now, if uBid comes out with some useful news, such as its expansion into new products with broader appeal, we have ebay on our hands.

Re: "take a look at eBAy's first few months..." - I did. Thanks for pointing this out. Looks identical to UBID at this stage - almost even the same dollars.

I've looked at Creative Computers' (MALL) other sites, as well. Any thoughts on why they didn't spin off PCMall, instead? Seems to be more mature and much, much broader in products offered. Could they be saving this for another IPO???

I'm of the opinion that MALL is the better play for UBID ownership. Still only 10.xx million shares, and own 80% of UBID. Unreal that price is under $20. I expect to buy some more, soon. At least before the silent period for investment banker is up - around the end of month. Maybe they'll point out in their recommendations that MALL could spin off PCMall. Heck, UBID could grow like eBAY. I'll take a 7 mBillion Mkt cap!! (or how ever many billion it is ).
