If you do a search on the MWCARDS items sold in the past week you will find that he has sold about 11 items out of 35 pages of stuff listed. That would be about 11 out of 1740 items, not bad. I guess there are 4-5 days left in the freebie auctions (or BIN sales) so there's still a chance that he may actually get to sell 1% of the items that were listed.

I still think in the spirit of an on-line auction that ebay might consider limiting the freebie stuff for the reasons previously listed. The main reason would be to have a true auction where people actually wanted to bid on the items (like a real auction). I realize that ebay probably wouldn't like this idea because it takes away from the bottom line.

In any case you can't blame MWCARDS for dumping the same inventory on freebie day because there isn't a reason "not to do this." If I were in business I'd probably do the same thing.
