And your point is? Am I suspose to provide a rebuttal chuck full of other companies that did the same and continued to be a sucess or do you only want companies that headed for failure before stabilizing and are now existing at a compromise level?

I disagree, I thought ebay had some pretty unique stuff in the early days (and they still do now, Im not saying they dont). In fact, I believe if ebay didnt have such diversity in the early years they wouldnt be where they are today. Remember, they are far, far from the only auction site, they are just enjoying the sucess of the best advertising in the world, word of mouth. For years, when people would talk in a group about being new to the internet (meaning they just got internet connection at home) others in the group would always start talking about how they had to go to that ebay site and then a story would come out on how ebay is the greates in the world. Stories would go for hours sometimes or at least ebay would be the backbone of the conversation talking about peoples hobbies or collections.
If ebay wouldnt have been so unique, exciting and cheap, it would have been like the hundreds of other sites like it that failed and we would be saying "E-what? E-Bay? Never heard of it". Meg did a great job of saving the company but dont think for a moment that it wasnt a compromise and that she didnt want to do more but thats the thing with compromise, you have to meet in the middle. I could type more but there are already books out on the subject, including one from her so why spend the time?

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
