Maybe Reliable Tool will restart their auction site???

If they do, I hope to hell they do something to speed it up. I stopped
going there very quickly as it was painfully slow.
I think the increased fees are going to weed out some of the idiots and
frivolous auctions. It's also going to open the door for some other
outfit to cater to the smaller sellers.

Going public has forced ebay to act like any other corporation, squeeze
every last penny of profits they can, to satisfy Wall Street and the
stockholders...
