If Yahoo payed sellers to list and buyers to bid they'd go broke. Hell, I'd list every collar-stay in my bureau drawer! William, Is this concept any different than AMZN? Glenn

> If Yahoo payed sellers to list and buyers to bid they'd go broke. Um, William, isn't that what Amazon is currently doing now? Providing books at a loss to customers? I don't see anything that indicates Amazon wants to change this behavior. It will also be pretty hard once B&N takes even more marketshare. heh i got a good laugh out of your reply, william. :)
