For once, the big corporations can not change the level playing field, not like it is now if you go into a brick and mortar establishment. The bid corporation do not understand the Internet, let alone how to stop us from draining away their sales. Oh, yes -- you hear about it in the news: sales keep slowing down for the big retailers every quarter - and eBay sales go up! It is little wonder to my mind why there is so much negative publicity about online auction to scare everyone away from doing business with common, ordinary folks.
