At the end of the day, eBay&#039;s main concern is their bottom line, and it would be foolish on their part to ignore the existence of CACG slabs when they will be readily accepted by the other venues. eBay is FAR from a market maker with respect to moderate-high value premium material, so as far as I&#039;m concerned the eBay issue is largely irrelevant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
