>> Short 2k shares @ 175. Did you see the volume? That's almost 3 times the float? With such a small float, who can you buy to cover from ?

HJ, I think the biggest problem I have with ebay is that it is becoming a sort of cheap storefront for online merchants that don't have their own website, and there is no real way to navigate through all the junk. For example if you go to women's jewellery and look for "tiffany" you will pull up a million items that are being sold by this retailer "tiffany jewellers" or something like that. Same thing in women's designer clothing, if you take out about 10 retail stores that are selling their junk then you are left with about 10 items that are truly sold by individuals. I don't see anyway around this really.
