I've had incredible results on ebay, and I've consigned to the biggest auction houses and gotten killed. And vice versa.
well said! I totally agree!

I recently sold my Razor BAbe RUth cut auto on eBay when I noticed that there were a lot of bidders bidding on Ruth auto cards and I got 2500 more than I thought I would get.
