Ebay does not want keep all of the auctions as a

want the legal hassles, basically.
In my mind, the best web site business plans involve the visitors
creating the content themselves. They're missing a big, big opportunity.
Each description can contain potentially valuable nuggets of info.
It's a crime to toss them in the bit bucket.
