In economics, disintermediation is the removal of intermediaries in a supply chain. Disintermediation is often the result of high market transparency, in that buyers are aware of supply prices direct from the manufacturer. As a result, buyers bypass the middlemen wholesalers and retailers in order to buy directly from the manufacturer and thereby pay less. Buyers can alternatively elect to purchase from wholesalers, but most often, a buyer-to-consumer intermediary functions as the bridge between buyer and manufacturer. A few years ago, scholars wrote that the Internet would disintermediate industries or eliminate middlemen. Instead, the lower cost of selling over the Net and its immense appeal have produced even more middlemen, which helps explain the success of the search giant Google and the online marketplace eBay.

For example, I own a ceramic parrot that had been given to me by my grandparents, a cupboard from my other grandparents and a very old doll that had been given to me by my great aunt. My in-laws once owned an antique business which they set up for sales and auctions. Their basement was always filled with a treasure trove of fascinating and interesting items. They could tell you the worth of any item in the basement. They loved restoring old pieces, not so much so that they could sell it for more but simply because they gained satisfaction from doing so.

Antique lovers enjoy the chase more than anything. They enjoy searching through stores and antique shops all over the country searching for that specific or unusual item they been looking for. Some people look for antiques...

There are actually two basic types of gamer servers listen servers and dedicated servers. Listen servers are mostly used by individual players. For example, you might use a listen server at a LAN party. Dedicated servers are generally setup on a remote server i.e. The server is not in the same locality as the gamers . Usually, this server will be part of a data center, which is a facility which contains many servers for various purposes. Maintaining a dedicated game server can be very expensive, as a game server usually will require large amounts of bandwidth. Bandwidth, also called data transfer, is a measure of the amount of data that comes and goes from the server. Sometimes a gaming clan will collectively pay for a game server for their use, but often times the best way to get access to a dedicated server is to pay...
