Thanks Gordon and here's a bit more...

Thanks Gordon - very eloquent (as usual) rebuttal and thanks for the personal comment.

You are right in that some things cannot be dispensed openly, and while some of the methods used aren't revolutionary they are reserved for our licensees.

We have taken over 2 years to perfecrt this site and business.

We did design change after design change.

We have had a testing area running since last summer - trial and error on what works and what doesn't....perfecting.

Also surveys on users (buyers) as well as sellers - hours in malls and knocking doors of people selling items.

RE: AutoTrader - a competitor - not competition....we have what they don't and was requested by 99% of our respondents.

We have certain guidelines that we expect followed, but marketing and inovative ideas are also part of the scenario as in running any business.

And finally, you are correct Gordon in network exposure...we have had requests from as far away as Texas about advertising Classsic autos here in Canada.

Thanks again for responding to Abe's inquiry - it is much appreciated.
