Ebay does not want keep all of the auctions as a
publicly accessable
database, simply because it is not their job. After a few months, they
can "wash their hands" of the deal, and with it, any disputes that may
come up afterwards (problems in the car auctions leap to mind). They don't
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.
