<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'm having all my trade paperbacks hard
bound. I just did an eBay search for Groo for the first time in years,
just to see if Ryan's price of $75 for a set of trading cards was
realistic. I found 1400 items, most with no bids, but ridiculously
optimistic "buy it now" prices. The completed sales indicated that my
collection has a negative value because most items received "no bids", but the
shipping cost of many items was more than the "buy it now" price. Are
members of the Groop bailing?</FONT></DIV>
