Some musings regarding eBay...

I agree , somewhat, in your opinion, but on the lighter side there use to be a saying, and I sure it's, true today -----Powered by Ford---- Powered by Chey---- Powered by Money.D'ont get me wrong, money is a good thing [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img], but that's the arena your playing in when your bidding on ebay. Can rules be made or strictly enforced , that's a different topic. When your bidding on ebay keep your fingers crossed , that the guy who's bidding against had a computer crash.

Interesting to note that as of today the value of "E Bay" as a corporation based on its market capitalization is $33 Billion dollars. For comparison, market cap of General Motors and Ford combined is $40 billion. That's with only 4000 employees compared to 700,000+ auto workers. At the current rate of growth it will not be long before you will be able to trade E Bay for Ford and GM combined in a straight swap.

I think it's all how you present the item you have for sale.
IMO A lot of people don't realize, or don't know how to, write up a good add for ebay.
I've got good deals on things because the person may advertise an item for a Buick, when you know it may also fit a car, like your Camaro. With no offence to Buick fans [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
These Guys who write things like "Rare" & "NOS" & misrepresent their parts should be shot!
(This may seem extreme)

I like your point -- did you notice the difference in P/E multiples?

GM = 6.5x
eBay = 102.6x

Sheesh. People love to pay for growth, heh?!?! That trade would be scarier than taking AOL stock in 2000 if you were a Time Warner shareholder...
