Today an article in PaidContent.org points out that e-Bay is getting into the content business by selling pricing data. Intuit is using the data feed to allow people to figure out prices for items they gave as tax deductions. Two years ago I spent a couple of weeks trying to design this business. In the end the money you had to pay e-Bay was too much and my thought is that they would compete with you if it turned out to be a good business. Good thing I didn’t spend alot of time on that one!
