oKay, everybody......
The c2c simply ain't depictive enuffa what we actually do, for in fact, we are not mere "c"'s ... ya know?
But really HB2c, sounds like HBO on steroids, and that ain't the right connotation, no way, no how.
So, lettuce brainstorm up a salad of possible names for the cottage businesses which created the initial miracle of e-biz, and lettuce keep this strictly oriented to the HOME-based ecommmerce.
"Home, home on the Net...
"Where the trolls & the pranksters do play...
"HooooooOOOOME, home on the Net
"Where hOOOOOme-based bizness do thrive!

VMod: I like it!
F2F
luv it!
indeed, i can hear the Plutocrats in the future, muttering, "...them 'effin F2Fs!!"
F2F beats c2c, all hands down, imo, as family cottage industries are where the future resides, in this our new millenium --- for you see, They may have the power, currently that is, but there's infinitely more of us than the sum total of Plutocrats squared to the nth power, and it is in our great totality, numerically wherein resides our power, our eventual victory, and our essential value, (from C to shining C, lol!)

Hi millicent!
I just wanted to make sure you were aware that some of us are chattin' up a storm over here.
I have a feeling that the eBay would like to 'DISAPPEAR' some of their disgruntled users, and I don't think that anyone who's ever used the online auction venues should vanish.
I think we should stick around, as really, WE are where the future is, not them ol' dinosaur relic mega-conglomerates being resurrected outta a horror movie from the time of Pharoah and the slaves.

Hiya radh. Where are you chatting it up? On the ebay boards? I don't go there. I find it just upsets me, bad karma or something, so I keep silent. I just got the TAG notes though. Very interesting stuff. Where will it end? We know it ain't amazon. That's not an alternative anymore.
They seem to really be history.

Right here at AW's YahooAuctions! There's alotta advice here on Page 1 in many many of the threads from experienced Yahoo! sellers --- indeed, some people have claimed 90% sales, by using a First-Bid-Wins strategy.
It's very interesting, but requires a kinda "retail-storefront" mentality based on great PATIENCE, and the elimination of the auction~frenzied pace that mosta us are accustomed to.
It might provide some viable alternatives for smallish sellers like you and me, and 100s of 1000s others.

Everyone must be over checking out Yahoo. I couldn't access anything and I'm on cable. Tried a search or two, nada. Maybe later when the newness wears off?

I read somewhere today that the net-conglomerates gonna git bigger and much more in number.
It's like, oH yippeE, let's have a 1980s nostalgia party!
Gross.
And then experts said that e-conglomeration will occur at a faster than the speed of light pace, in comparison to the 80s, simply due to the nature of the Internet.
Idiotz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don'tcha just luv observing all these millions & billions being blown away, dust in da wind, when they have absolutely no evidence what consumers/netizens want -- not a clue what will work, as they burn baby, burn all that money down the drain!
