They're privately held, backed by venture funding, and reportedly have a
low collection rate on their fees.
The only publically traded online auction company is Onsale (ONSL on
NASDAQ). Because of their business model, they have much higher revenue
than eBay, but they're not profitable (as if that matters to Wall Street).
ObClassicCmp: only Haggle Online (www.haggle.com) has an Antique Computers
category (but Classified2000 has an Old Computers category w/o an auction
format).
