Users of eBay in effect have their own private auction, but with protection built in for the buyers as well. Certainly criticisms can be made about eBay not being a true auction venue - there is a defined finished date & time (allows sniping), etc, etc, etc. I personally am very skeptical over private auctions because they afford me no protection or guarantees as a buyer. This is not to say that they are not good for other people, as I have seen many of these run through Lugnet. Scott Runkle http://members.fcc.net/runkle/
