JrEwing, I tried to check out the site bu it is password protected. CNBC loves this company and they will talk about the site. The difference between this auction and Ubid, etc.. is that the products are only available through Sharper Image. The stock will run up on the opening of the site. I believe 17 is not out of the question. The float is only 1.9 million. The insider selling makes sense. 1.9 million is a tiny float...a little dilution will help stabilize co in terms of stock movement. Don't get me wrong..the 5-8 point swing are fun for everyone...most of us at least. People will go to the auction site and it will be successful. Many of the Sharper Image's items are very expensive and bidding allows everyone a chance to get that "massage chair", etc..at a deep discount from the original seller. If the website is a success the co. will issue pr on the number of hits it received and then it will run like crazy. CNBC loves this co. IcyGual

to also Barry & Drake: SHRP - case in point - take a look at page W6 in today's Wall St. Journal RE: Travel Alarm Clocks Survey. Sharper Image was most expensive entry of five listed -- LL Bean, Autosport, Orvis, Brookstone -- and the most gimicky (i.e., clock, smoke detector, motion detector and flashlight). No wonder no one buys this item. It is overloaded with too many gadgets. L.L. Bean the winner at $29.50! Keep it simple Dicky, read Theoreau. Or, on second thought, maybe SHRP should add a nose-hair clipper and a rope-escape ladder to this item.
