Ebay used to be a lot of fun, and straight ebay auctions brought good prices for sellers. That's the key. Sellers had no qualms about listing straight auctions in ebay the same way they now do via auction houses.
Nowadays ebay is ZERO fun, and that's ebay's doing, due to their policy changes over the years that have encouraged a 'store' selling mentality, but auction houses are still lots of fun - I love opening a bottle of wine and watching the lots finish up on a good auction house night. I find my self winning stuff that I have no business bidding on, but I no longer have that problem on ebay (I used to).
If you find something cool on ebay that you want, check VCP and put in a snipe of 75% of average VCP value, and you are likely to win it. That won't be the case for auction house bids.
