Interesting how nobody visited Amazon Auctions in their "scientific" study.

Like alot of studies, I guess it depends on who's paying for it and what they want to show/prove!

Even more interesting is that the chart shows AuctionWatch as the fourth highest auction site.

amazon.com auctions are DOWN 92%, so it doesn't surprise me that they ain't on the list.

Glenda, they probably count all those using picture hosting or counters on AW. Not real useful info IMHO.

You mean ebaY has a near monopolistic market share? What a surprise.

Well eBay was the first auction site and is still the best. So why wouldn't they be so far ahead in number of visits....

Being the first and the best doesn't make them a monopoly.
