So tell me, please, why does everyone on this thread want to compare Bid.Com to Ebay when the two are clearly completely different setups? Wish I could. Sigh. Though in fairness, it is definitely not everyone who does try to compare EBay to BIDS. WUWT

Per CNBC... BIDS is up 3/16 in Instinet trading. AOL is halted for 30 minutes while earnings are digested and analyst conference call gets underway.

I agree... comparing the two is like comparing a garage sale or consignment shop (ie. Ebay) to a retail store (ie. bid.com). Both have a reason for existence. But why would you want to compare one of these business models to the other.... I find all the messages that do this incredibly frustrating!!! Anyone who has actually reviewed these site will see the difference right away. At Ebay you can buy other peoples' trinkets and trash. At bid.com you can buy brand new computers, monitors, etc with full warranty. Definitely apples and oranges! Given that the people who do this appear to have no other interest than stock bashing I don't think we'll ever see the end of their posts however.
