Sterling Sports Auctions and Love of the Game Auctions would be considered big on eBay, if that helps.

If you don't have a lot of stuff for auction, I don't think starting your own auction would be good, though a sales page might work. For the average eBayer, I don't think it would work to start up their own auction site. I'm also sure its tough to get people to sign up for you auction.

Love of the Game started off well, in part because they had quality stuff the first auction. Sterling has been around a while so its new owner had a built in audience.
