I think you're wrong there. It looks like VUSA and PCLN have similar arrangements, except that they probably couldn't promote as visibly as PCLN did. Below from ValueAmerica.com: Dear Value America customer, Over the past several weeks, we've received many inquiries from Value America customers who are interested in obtaining more information about or participating in our upcoming initial public offering. One of the brokerage firms participating in our offering, ETRADE, has agreed to make shares available for purchase by Value America customers who have an account at ETRADE. Here is what you'll need to do if you are interested in applying to purchase shares. First, visit ETRADE's Value America information area at www.etrade.com/vusa.html. Here, you'll be able to get details about our offering, including updates on the timing of the IPO and our prospectus. If you are interested in applying to purchase shares you can link to an online ETRADE account application from there. Second, shortly before our IPO comes to the market you'll be able to apply for shares. You will need to periodically visit the IPO Center at ETRADE for information on when and how you may provide ETRADE with an indication of your interest in participating in Value America's initial public offering. However, there is no guarantee that you will receive IPO shares, even after your delivering to ETRADE an indication of interest and your complying with such other procedures as may be required by ETRADE. Obviously, you don't pay anything if you don't actually receive shares. As always, thank you for shopping at Value America.
