Well, as with any 'free market' in the business world, competitors will seize the moment.

Like when eBay stopped allowing "firearms" for auction, tons of other online sites opened up, specializing in them. Gunbroker.com (located here in Atlanta), auctionarms, and some others succeeded. They had a TV interview with the Gunbroker guy here locally, and he's making a fortune!

If AOL (which, controls too much of the media world), ebay, and others ban non PC auctions, others will pop up specializing in it. Which is not too bad of a thing. I wouldn't mind an auction site dedicated to JUST these sorts of items. Less time spent browsing through the other junk.

I am in NO WAY defending AOL, or other corporate mongols of the sort. I do not like them at all, nor condone their activities. I am just trying to shed some light (positive), to a negative situation
