Yes, but it turns out it wasn't the auctions that people wanted; it was cheap and eclectic items. Many of the products they used to have a monopoly on (used video games, old comic books, dvds, cds) are available used on Amazon. Homemade crafts went to Etsy. I suppose eBay still has a hold on coins and antiques, but that's too small a niche.
