Thanks Jean, I took another look too and you're right.... Lots of good things seem to be in the works and I'm glad they closed the horsenet deal. I'm going re-evaluate where its stands at the end of February.... Let me know if you hear anything else ---- Anyone else on the thread anymore? Jean-Robert? Cheers all

I'm new around here, and have a question or two.... Is the primary plan to hold auctions for horses and agricultural equipment (in an "e-Bay fashion)? The reason for my question is that e-Bay typically auctions non-perishable goods (tv's, vcr's, computers, jewelry, etc...). Can we expect a large customer base which will bid on "live" items (livestock)? Or am I missing the intent of what they will do? Usually, those buying horses, even at auctions, like to inspect the "goods" and sometimes have them personally inspected. This seems like a novel idea, but I'm questioning the manner in which livestock is commonly bought & sold. The health of the animals is of primary concern, and can one judge this remotely? Or again, have I missed something?
