I wonder if she reads THESE boards? Says she reads the ebay boards and answers all her email to get a "pulse."
Sure would like to be in her shoes right now.
Nickel and dimming selling gone....
Ace, any articles on the history of ebay?
(I think I did see her on sixty minutes or one of those shows.)

I was watching a CNN interview report on leaders of industry or something about a month ago and they had a guy interviewing Meg. He said he wanted to auction a few things on ebay for a CNN charity fund. He had a special CNN logo fotball helmet, new in box, but Meg told him it was too mass produced and only worth $50 or so. Next he had some signed baseballs by the CNN ( maybe it was MS/NBC? ) reporters and Meg's eyes lit up. She said the balls with all the signatures was worth at least $5,000 . At the end of the report the guy had the result of the ebay auction for the signed balls and they went for a very high price but the top few bidders deadbeated and they finally got another bidder to pay a lot less than the high bid. That was reality ebay TV ... deadbeats.
I think she has staffers screen her emails and she actually reads only a select handful. Today, I took the plunge and emailed her anyway.

I seriously doubt Meg would ever look here or at the much larger OTWA ebay boards. I'm fairly certain that she looks the the ebay message boards on ebay.
