I don't know if I agree with this. While I agree Ebay needs to do something, I don't think Amazon gains enough for the merger/acquisition. While I think gaining half.com would be a big benefit and remove a marquee competitor for Amazon's handling of second hand sales, I think that Ebay itself is too different a property and it doesn't exactly gel with the rest of the Amazon properties.

I don't know really, I'll need to think more about it.
