Bidville.com- New Competition for Ebay ?

[Archive]

any relationship to Naxcom? Sounds like a infomercial.....

Unfortunately, ebay has the 'first to market' tag that has been the deathknell for other sites on the internet. Yahoo and Amazon have both taken on ebay and lost. There's just no other place to get the critical mass of ebay. Maybe niche auction sites will continue to pop up but for auctioning single items of vintage cards, there's little competition out there. The Sloates, Verkmans and others enjoy their sites, but I think it's difficult for the others to compete. What are the finances of a Bidville, Naxcom, Collectionmonster, etc.....? I can't believe that they can support free listing for long. They have to be bleeding cash while ebay's making $1.20 per share of stock out there.
