Forgive me for shooting from the top of my head. I have charted them at work since the beginning. I was off by a month (10/2) with my <30,000 statement. BUT I stand by my statement that: <<I have also noticed that the Yahoo auctions by OnSale are dwindling in popularity, having fewer auctions than they did a few months ago.>> Is not true. Period. 52,047 to 97,000 is hardly fewer. They did in fact dwindle under 90,000 but have started to grow again. The point is moot anyway because Onsale managed to turn something that was bleeding money into a relationship with Yahoo! that currently supplies Onsale with 97,000 24/7 banner ads on Yahoo. If they never realize a dollar in advertising revenue or grow past 100,000 it is still a coup. IF Yahoo ever chooses to actively promote the product, EBAY holders should be VERY wary. In fact the greater market cap ebay carries, the more likely it will be.
