Doug is a very good linear analyst ... he could work for Wall Street. All they do there is put numbers in series, then look for a pattern, then put the next numbers. In the old days, they plot these on graphing papers then draw straight of logarithmic lines. Now, all they have to do is put some formulas in the spreadsheet, supply the last few quarters performance ... and voila ... an estimate.

Tom:

The analysts have always been way off (and under) with eBay.

Forget about $176M for 2000.

Ebay will do $200M in 1999 and at least triple that in 2000.

ebay will do more than $32M this quarter, blowing away every analyst's estimate. and the $200M in 1999 is conservative at this point.
