I also must add as a buyer there is no better medium. To me the auction houses are better suited for the sellers...I see items routinely over sold. At any time I can go purchase just about any card ever made on Ebay in my underware at 2am. Tough to compete with that.

John, I basically agree with your argument regarding Ebay, but

you say that AHs are better suited for sellers and then when you sell you use Ebay (?). I would just add that many of us who frequent auction houses place bids at 2AM in our underwear (correct spelling) or less during those interminable extended bidding sessions. The fee structure on BST is unbeatable compared to Ebay or AHs but this is basically a prewar audience. Selling postwar cards on BST can work but frequently is like trying to sell beef in New Delhi.
