Oh boy.
I work for one of the banks that did the IPO. I'm not supposed to voice my
true feelings about this whole thing.
The numbers though: eBay just paid 24 times sales for a money-losing company.
In other news, Warren Buffett got his first piece of the Internet when he
bought into a money-losing fiber optic network. Anyone want to handicap the
odds that one deal was smarter than the other?

| Perhaps it was inevitable but hopefully it won't have nasty implications for payments made outside of eBay. ugh, John #388 (URL) is to buy Paypal, for $1.5bn in stock. That's sorted then, or it will be when the deal closes at the end of the year. (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jul-02, to lugnet.market.services, lugnet.general)
