>>On 11/2, they (Yahoo auctions) had < 30,000.<< On 10/30/98, the Yahoo auction count was 52,047. On 11/18/98, the Yahoo auction count was 73,052. On 12/3/98, the Yahoo auction count was in excess of 90,000. These numbers are all documented on the eBay thread, on these dates. What documentation do you have to show that on 11/2, the Yahoo auction count was less than 30,000? True, eBay and Onsale are very different business models, with eBay's being far superior (which is why their market cap is more than 10 times that of Onsale). eBay's gross margins are about 90 percent, while Onsale's are maybe 10 percent?
