donkeyman, It seems clear to me that there isn't any relationship between EBAY and Bid.com so why should we keep talking about them in relation to Bid.com. >>Look at that EBAY report yesterday, they have a US$21 billion market cap.

>>>All those Internet auction companies are the same when they first try to get established. It cost a fortune to get your name known.<<< Donkeyman, I agree with this. Look at Amazon and other Internet companies. It does take some time and a tremendous amount of money to become well known and profitable. I think we shouldn't be that hard on BII. They are performing like many other Internet companies, and in the scheme of it all, they are still a newcomer. When they start spending their advertising money in the U.S., they will have more recognition. I doubt many people down here know about the sports cards. I have yet to see one advertised. I have seen(BID.COM) them advertised on Aol twice. My point has already been made; they need more exposure in the U.S. What good does their great add campaign "Shop Naked" do when no one in the U.S. has seen it?
