>>>*I wouldn't bash Paul Godin for selling a measily 25,000 shares. Remember he started this company from scratch, maybe he wants to buy something or put a kid in college. I'm sure he could pay himself some more shares in the future when everything is doing even better.<<< yea, like none of us has ever made a mistake! J>

"*EBAY buy BID.COM for $1 Billion. Why do that? Hell for a Billion I'm sure I could start something from scratch for a lot cheaper than that" Although I agree with you I would not totally dismiss the possibility. Maybe Ebay is recognizing the potential of B2B and wants to outright buy BII software/technology. Sometimes in fast growing markets the biggest always wins. It does seem unlikely for two reasons. 1) why would Ebay wait for Nasdaq when valuations would be much higher 2) even if Paul Godin could not afford bus fare you'd think he'd wait till the deal went down before selling at lower levels.
