Geoff and Steve, re: Ebay/BID relationship If EBAY, a company actively engaged in the online auction business, is not considered to be worthy of "any comparison" to Sotheby's, then what other publicly traded company or companies would be comparable to Sotheby's? And if EBAY bears no comparison at all to BID, even though EBAY is in the online auction business, then are you suggesting the activities of EBAY not be discussed on this thread since you both seem to indicate EBAY is not considered relevant? The reason I ask is that I intend to follow EBAY closely because I do think what happens to EBAY is, to a certain extent, relevant to Sotheby's new venture. But if I'm the only one who considers it relevant, then I won't bother the thread with any more discussion about EBAY vis a' vis Sotheby's. Ice
