You hit the nail on the head. Yahoo needs to make a commitment to it. When you think of what a few million $$ could do, it seems like a no brainer. I have sold on the site from day 1 and they absolutely have made strides, however evolutionary, not revolutionary. They took a real big hit when 10,000+ Beanies left for good. They have since made up for it with growth in trading cards. I wonder if EBay offered an incentive to lure people back? yahoo/onsale needs to improve feedback. It is there, but almost impossible to find. Also no buyer feedback. I have been pretty lucky, with very few transactions abandoned, but I have heard of others having problems. I also have a few VERY solid repeat customers. I look at it this way: We own stock in ebay jr, Onsale proper, Onsale Japan, Onsale Itc. and whatever else they come up with. They are not putting all of their eggs in one basket and have a chance to hit more than one homerun. At $40 I personally find it a no brainer. As to the E-Trade memo, I think many suspect less than spectacular sales and it explains the last two weeks. Think about it: I bought a bunch of books and videos from Amazon and Buy.com, but I didn't buy Mom a SCSI card for Christmas. I did buy a CD changer and two 900mhz phones as gifts though. :-) On the flip side, we should see much, much less of a letdown Q4 to Q1 than the pure retail plays. Now I remember why I own June calls. :-) Regards, Duff
