Brian Too many uncertainties are facing 1999 for e-commerce. Many of the big traditional stores are getting on the web like JC Penney, and soon probably Walmart, Sears, Dayton Hudson, Nordstrom stc. The barrier of entry is so low. Catalog sales are coming back via the internet. Where will that leave companies like ONSL, UBID? To surplus and refurbished items. They don't have the purchasing power of the big guys to be able to sell at lower prices. I am now going to look into the companies that are doing the shipping FDX ABF. Now there is a prohibitive barrier of entry. Happy New Year to ALL. May 1999 be at least as wonderful as 1998. Paul
