At that time, Shopping.com had a miniscule $525,000 in trailing sales and mounting losses, Renaissance noted. By contrast, it is now the largest online comparison shopping service in the U.S. with more than 20 million users a month and with revenue of $67 million in 2003. That was more than double sales of $29.1 million in 2002 and more than five times sales of $12.7 million in 2001.
| Wow. It is turning into a regular little do-well business.

From the San Jose Mercury News Quote:
Investors in a Epinions, a company that Shopping.com bought last year, also are threatening trouble.
The company warned in its IPO papers a group of Epinions investors are demanding damages for alleged insider misconduct by Tolia and others when Shopping.com negotiated the takeover. The Epinions investors want to be paid 1.8 million to 2.4 million Shopping.com shares -- a stake worth $52 million to $69 million after Tuesday's trading.
