Hey, Mark. If you come to Austin for meetings with Next Coast, let me know. It would be a pleasure to meet you over a beer or six pack.

Dave Bennett

Wow! I'm not too HIP to all the business jargon, but even I can tell that CONGRATULATIONS are in order!!

With all that new money in your vault, I'm looking forward to the launch of HipOldToys and HipPezDispensers!!

Ted Tyszka

. . . and HipBooks

Jeri Stathas

Congrats, Mark!! HipSportsCards would be nice.

Michael Generali

Yes, it'l be interesting to see what's coming. Site for buying and selling cards like Magic?

Luree Hughes

Congratulations on a great landmark. Excited to see what you have in mind.

Robert Welander

I'll second the support for HipSportsCards. I've been sitting on a pile of graded cards for quite a while, waiting for a solution that isn't that other place.

Richard Olsen

Congratulations.

How about hip paper money as a new store.

Michael Hynes

Congratulations! I've really enjoyed selling on HipStamp so far (one year anniversary). Keep making it better!

John Eckhardt

HipCoin would also be nice.

Bill O'Malley

There are a lot of collectable areas that you can expand into but is $5 million enough? eBay is dropping the ball on these areas and there will be a big void that needs to be filled.
Do NOT get complacent and get into the trap where you have to answer to shareholders because that will destroy you as I am sure you have already experienced with Gibbons.

Jerry.Burkhart

very exciting! Looking forward for the expansions and for the changes! if you get crazy expanding - maybe consider vintage and handmade items or perhaps a general collectible category? (items like rocks, gems, old tools) Not counting on this but a thought :-)

Tania Radley

Yes BOB and JOHN,

Both HipCurrency and HipCoin would be good.

Hip eCommerce would instantly harvest a lot of business/sellers from Ebay as many disgruntled ebay sellers currently being forced over to Ebay Managed Payments in the UK will no longer be allowed to sell coins and paper money. I understand that the same applies to US sellers already switched to MP's?

Luree Hughes

I casting my vote for Trading Cards.

Thanks, Mark!
