I have some friends who deal in Art Nouveau furniture, lamps, ash trays, and so on, and they have been using E-Bay for quite a while.

It's not as interesting, but I just bought some cheap electronics from On-Sale, and that's another extremely well run operation. As are Yahoo and Amazon, of course.

At this point the stock market may almost be more of a liability to capitalism, despite Alan Greenspan's mealy-mouthedness about how risk-taking is part of the system. It's not good for even the best of companies to be turned into lottery tickets--as he described it in a somewhat more accurate asessment.

I am an EBAY junkie too. I buy glass items; i.e. Lalique, Daum, and art glass pieces. They often have unbelieveable items at pretty good prices. I've found early works by big dollar artists like Lino Tagliapietra and Paul Stankard there for chump change. I hate the stock but wouldn't have the guts to short it. Same thing with Amazon. I spend a fortune on that site, hate the stock, just say no to shorting it.
