San Francisco, April 10 (Bloomberg) -- Leading Internet
auctioneer eBay Inc. is in talks with Butterfield & Butterfield
Auctioneers Corp., a venerable San Francisco auction house, about
a joint venture and may announce an alliance soon, the San
Francisco Examiner and Reuters reported, citing sources close to
the companies. Butterfield would offer premium items for auction
to a separate area of the eBay Web site. EBay has filed a
document with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
regarding the venture, Reuters said.

Butterfield wants to go public and has filed for an initial
public offering of 1.5 million shares.

Doug, how big is the market? Keenan Vision Inc predicts that the online auction market will grow from the current 3.8 Billion to 128 Billion in 2003. This is a 33 times increase. If eBay keeps the leadership position, eBay's stock will increase by that scale. The stock price is really dictated by the market growth.
