Cut Command Help Please

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to use the cut command to do the following:

Code:

"AuctionID","UserID","BidderRating","Bid","BidDateTime"
1070387924,"rmichaelll",46,407.00,2/12/2002 14:07:44
1070387924,"decocloxcolektor",155,402.00,2/12/2002 14:07:28
1070387924,"markartz",6,350.00,2/12/2002 11:11:52
1070387924,"markartz",6,275.00,2/12/2002 1:23:19

This is a file called ebay_sort.dat
I'm trying to cut just the AuctionID column only and output to a different file and display to the user.

This is what I have so far, but Im still having trouble.
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Code:

cat ebay_sort.dat | cut -c -f1 | sort -u  > acution_list.dat

echo
echo
echo HERE IS THE LIST OF AUCTIONIDS:
echo -------------------------------
echo
cat acution_list.dat
