Healthcare
In the first edition of this book I said, “It’s not clear that eBay can get a
good start in this category. The only two subcategories are X-ray
Equipment and Stethoscopes, an odd selection.” Boy, was I wrong.
Today (four years later, summer 2003) there are almost 8,000 items for
auction in many different subsections. This is not exactly setting the
world on fire, but it’s well on its way.
Restaurant
In my first edition, I said, “Restaurateurs are entrepreneurial. This
could turn into a really robust B2B auction.” Hey, I was right about
something. The Restaurant section is going crazy and has blossomed
into a smorgasbord of equipment, so to speak.
