Notr completely sure 'cause it went by pretty fast. But, I think he was saying he had some license deals in house that were for Australia, Europe, Ireland, China in process maybe. I think he wants to franchise in North America or Western hemisphere and license to others in the rest of the world. I think he will hold most of Europe pretty close as well. I'm not privvy to his plans but that is what it sounded like to me this a.m.

Did anyone happen to catch the blurb about 2-3 recently signed deals for the auction software during the CNBC interview? Yeah, do you know more about that? I'll bet we'll be seeing some press releases about these soon. Also, in the CNBC interview, there was a distinct focus on licensing, something that's not reflected in the discussions here. Most people in this thread seem focused on BID.COM direct sales and the margin they receive. I would suggest that they could conceivably generate more revenue with licensing fees, or perhaps a "cut" of sales made by sites in other countries. These could be nice recurring revenue streams, and I'll bet Godin has some nice deals in the pipe. Despite the naysayers here, and the fact that today's start was somewhat less stellar that I expected, I am still long on this stock and think it has the potential to appreciate greatly in the near term.
