Archie,

Point taken. I have not crystal ball and my opinion is just that. My opinion.

But, like I said earlier UBID makes tons of extra money using their 2 minute rule.

Of course Yahoo has used it and look how many auctions they have for chips.

Ebays model is a sucess for a reason. Perhaps they will institute a 5 minute rule on their own.

I am sure they are aware of the concept. So, why are they not using it?

Seems like it would be a great way to get a large boost in their final value fees.
