I thought you said you consigned to pwcc before and was killed

Also you promote your auctions and state that the buyer is going to get a good deal on your auctions....then if they do, you are not happy. Yes i know there are deals and there are DEALS....

but the market rules..

Seems like you don't like the variance involved with auctioning off your stuff. Why not just list it at BIN? Seems like all you want is a fair price, so I don't see why your listings wouldn't sell in a somewhat timely manner. As long as you are being realistic about what your stuff is worth.

If you're selling because you need the money right this minute, then you do kind of have to auction stuff and cross your fingers. But what about being a little more pro-active and listing some things as BIN before you need the money "right now"?

If you can’t beat ‘em I’d say join them. If you opt not to, there’s not much sense in complaining about it

I second what Luke said - with an established eBay profile, I would do a BIN with best offer. Even without schilling in the equation, getting a good price at auction requires some timing which results in risk. What if your potential buyers are on vacation, having a busy week at work, etc. I also think anyone who lists with prices based in reality has an advantage - so many BIN listings have absurd prices, when I see one that's realistic it makes me stop and think - should I just get it now rather than wait for an auction where I could either win and save a few dollars or lose.

I have used the bst here on several occasions both as a buyer and seller. If both parties can agree on a fair price someone will be saving 10-20% in Ebay or consignment fees. Ideally this difference is split and both come out ahead.
