yahoo auctions shutting down
08. May 2007 at 09:12

the search tool was total crap, but once in a while you could find a good deal:

Official announcement from Yahoo:

After careful consideration, we have decided to close down our Yahoo! US and Canada Auction sites to better serve our valued customers through other Yahoo! properties.

Please Note: This does not impact leading Yahoo! Auction sites in Hong Kong | Singapore | Taiwan

The US and Canada Auctions sites will close June 16, 2007. We will continue to provide our sellers, bidders, and buyers with quality customer care and a limited set of features and tools through October 29, 2007.
Please keep the following dates in mind when using the Yahoo! US and Canada Auction sites:
• Last day to list an item: June 3, 2007
• Listings will not auto re-submit after June 3, 2007. (This could mean that your listings may not be submitted 5 times)
• Last day to Bid/Buy: June 16, 2007
• Last day to access remaining site tools such as My Account: October 29, 2007

May 2007 at 23:44 They rarely seemed to have anything worthwhile. When they did the prices were outrageous. It became harder and harder to find the link to even get to Yahoo Auctions. I knew something like this was coming.

I'm still crossing my fingers for Google to create their own online auction site. I think they're the only ones that could give eBay some actual competition. Here's hoping..........

If there's a buck to be made, Google will do it, and better than anyone else. Google is what Microsoft should have been. Ebay is under some controversy for its security practices, anyway. So I think a Google auction site would really fly.
