Dagan, ---Don't BID.COM'S competition that you mentioned there have one major advantage over BID.COM? "THEY ARE ALL ON THE MIGHTY NASDAQ"! Give BID.COM 6 months with that type of powerful exposure on the Nasdaq and let's see what they can do? Many of those internet auction companies that you mentioned often get their name battered around on US newspaper, on CNBC-TV a half dozen times a day. Look what type of excellent exposure that does for an internet company. You don't think any of those companies, when they first started on the NASDAQ, had a better management team and business model than BID.COM has, do you???

I think the only thing the data provided points to is: a)that it is "outdated" b)that even the huge powerhouses like Ebay who have huge Gross margins can still manage to eat away at EPS! If you look at market cap in isolation BII is not overvalued. If you look at the Inuts as a whole, they all are overvalued. If you use Ebay as the standard and extrapolate backwards, BII is a bargain. It depends on how you want to look at it. You obviously are not fond of the stock, and see no value, seems to me that Mcleod and Forthright thought so too. They could have been right, but they weren't! You could be right, we'll see after we get to NASDAQ A pleasure! the Chief
