ebay fee hikes and stuff

Not that this will help him implement a successful competitor to epay: there have been a number of attempts by organisations that have deep enough pockets to withstand a few patent trolls. What they haven't had is eyeballs. We already have the VCM (when it's up :-)) but that only really caters for the likes of us. That's too small a market, I would say. You need to catch all those people with C64s plus something interesting in the cupboard. When they want to get rid of these things, they'll head for somewhere where they can (almost) guarantee that their item will be sold. I'd have a few off-topic items that I want to sell but I don't know of a specialist auction site that deals in TV amplifiers, so it's either going to end up on epay or in the bin (or sit in my junk box :-)).
