Dustin --I have never sold anything on ebay, either myself or through a consignor. At this point I am strictly a collector. I am aware of the many threads here and on CU about possible shilling in some consignor auctions (Good for some sellers ? Bad for some buyers ?). I am also aware of the many threads here and on CU about the large number of unreasonable and even unethical buyers who have surfaced on ebay since their rules have changed to so favor buyers.

The main reason I would look to use consignors or auction houses to sell my collection if I decided to liquidate is to avoid dealing with buyers willing to abuse the current refund , return, feedback system as a club in seeking bargains from sellers

I realize there are many good buyers out there. I like to think I am one. But my temperament is such that I would prefer not to deal with the aggravation of selling direct on ebay, and would be willing to pay a commission to do so. Not sure if this would be a factor with other sellers
