Other than that, the site looks nice; I don't have any desire to buy or
sell there right now, but I think that it could fit in to the online
collector's market.

One thing I was wondering about - this site, on the bidding page at
least, looks almost exactly like eBay (to the best of my
recollection).

I wonder if there have ever been any lawsuits (or threats of lawsuits)
over copying a big site's "look and feel"?

I know a lot of EveryAuction operators try to make their sites look
similar to eBay, even using addons that mimic the icons, etc, but none
that I've seen have come this close.
