Concerning the auctions, if Ebay goes the way of the Yahoo auction that we have over here, where the auction ending time gets extended ten minutes each time a bid is placed within the last five or ten minutes, I think it is safe to say that the selling prices will generally tend to escalate. Often for a desirable item, the "party" doesn't begin until the initially scheduled ending time is past.
