Mark, Like you said what makes eBay work is it is big. So sellers (i.e. actual merchants who want to make a living) who want to get the most money for something want the biggest exposure will go to eBay. eBay lets them sell their SB card to some guy in SE Asia for ridiculous amounts of money (anybody seen $100 KB and mouse auctions lately???). Honestly, I don't think we need anything fancy to sell. We could simply start another mailing list and people could post items for sale w/ asking prices and negotiations can be done privately over email. Easy peasy. What do you think? -Ali
