...eBay economy - goods worth $34.2 billion were sold through the online mart last year - Braun has plenty of competition. London-based AuctionAssist this week unveils a deal making its fledgling drop-off service available to as many as 10,000 British post offices over the next 12 months. Munich-based dropshop, which sold more than 15,000 items through eBay last year, expects to expand into Britain in 2005. And California's iSold It, one of the largest drop-off chains in the U.S. with around 5,000 items sold each week, is planning stores in Britain and Germany over...
...aircraft (the 777 and the 737) that are selling well, and last month it said it would stop making its 717. "If Boeing doesn't make the 787 a success, it has no more trumps in its hand," says Ulrich Horstmann, an aerospace analyst with Bayerische Landesbank in Munich.

...A380 could be a market disaster." John Leahy, Airbus' American-born top salesman, dismisses that prospect, saying airlines want both options - the A380 and the A350. No matter who's right, Boeing can't afford to make the wrong call. Ulrich Horstmann, an aerospace analyst for Bayerische Landesbank in Munich, says: "If Boeing doesn't make the 7E7 a success, it has no more trumps in its hand." Don't think Stonecipher isn't aware of that. He has overseen a revamping of Boeing's commercial airplane unit and recently approved the firing of the head of the firm...
...cigar room with a selection of whiskeys. Five to 12 minutes before departure time, fliers will proceed to the customs desk (no line here!), from which they will be whisked across the tarmac in a Mercedes or Porsche to their plane. Lufthansa is planning another exclusive terminal in Munich, and may consider similar lounges and the personal assistant service for passengers traveling from airports like New York City's John F. Kennedy or Hong Kong International. "It's the experience on the ground where we are setting ourselves apart," says Lufthansa executive Carsten Spohr. "We want to show that quality...
