But that's not happening and never has.

If you look at ebay's updates each time they do them - everything is geared toward their becoming a huge department store, as opposed to an antique/junk store as they originated. I see it as an opportunity for someone with enough resources to basically start an online perpetually-running antique auction house to replace the functions that Net54 folks and similar ilk require.
That's funny. We were brain storming the same idea yesterday, how FU-Bay would be easy to knock off and compete against. This is the direction that the world is turning. I just think small potatoes as an entrepreneur, while I watch these companies I work for sell for a billion.

I'm sure someone will take them on in the future? Is Amazon and e-bay the only platforms out there for everyday items you would find at a store? For Autographs, is e-bay the only place to go? I have no idea. I just know that E-bay is very painful to try and sell stuff with-out getting a neurotic imbecile from time to time. I have a s*** Ton of photos and balls that I could never sell so I just keep them for the grand kids to divvy up and sell at some point. You know the little crumb crunching ingrates will have zero interest in any of it.
