You know, around a decade or so back people said the exact same thing 
about Google.
   Like, what? Altavista, Lycos, and Yahoo! aren't good enough?

We all know how THAT story turned out. The surprise "why did they 
bother" is Microsoft with "Bing". If Google actually paid attention to 
privacy concerns, they could flatten everything else. But, then, 
defecting to MICROSOFT over such a matter... uh... doesn't seem like 
much of a choice to me! :-)

So give this site a chance. It might be a major fail, or it might turn 
out to offer a more concise subset of auctions so you know what you are 
going there for - as opposed to the other site which has grown so big it 
is getting to be unweildly.


Best wishes,

Rick.
