OT Bob, I don't consider ebay to be reverse auction. I would consider when vendors bid against each other for your business to be reverse auction. e.g You go to the airport and yell, "I want to fly to Hawaii. Who wants to make me an offer?" Kind of like those credit card offers we get in the mail every day. Shipping for cheap items is a challenge to my notion. For those, a variety store is very handy. Dollar Bill's - everything in the world under $20. Could be combined with a grocery store...oh yeah, that's already been done. Peter
