The write-up in the online auction section of Forbes may be a little old as the site has had a sub one million mark listings total for a while since they pulled all of the book consignments seller's inventory of almost 300,000 books without telling him anything about it.
I seem to remember another very small write-up about BV on Oprah's site a year ago.

Miss Cuff the Paranoid has said that I have bragged off creating over 2,000 for Bidville. That clearly shows how demented she is to actually believe such a thing.
BV requires a bonafide ISP email address to even register at the site. Of course the site does accept perhaps 2,000 free email addresses that can be easily found on a search engine by entering the words free email.
The Forbes BV article the site now has a banner ad of was placed on the Forbes site on March 6, 2002.
From the Forbes search engine:

Web Site Reviews: Bidville March 6, 2002 One of the newer EBay clones, and probably the most likely to survive. It now claims over a million daily listings, ranging from electronics to
A 10 month old web news article can sure fire up the desperate BV citizenry. The new shoppers will be flocking to the site now! Clownville is a better name.

A ten month old report that was totally unnoticed at the time. BV better hope that a major site like Forbes doesn't come out with a rating showing the current state of BV with a mandatory and unique verification scheme and 80% sportscards with the majority under a buck. Or a story of all the ripped off buyers told on the BV boards.
I'm sticking to my 800,000 listing at BV selection on February first. The six featured daily sellers show much too many sellers with only a few feedbacks in two years at the site. $5 for six months is not worth the price for almost no sales at all.

It's very ironic that a person that can not spell the word stupid correctly would doubt my report of finding the Forbes article that barely mentioned BV to have been posted on March 6th of this year. All anyone had to do was go to the Forbes site and use their search engine? The person is probably a truck driver that sells little boy toy cars. As Bugs Bunny would say --- What a maroon!
