PWCC also has no conceivable way to know what my max bid is. I also like that. A lot. That's fraud protection of the highest order.

I really hope PWCC's rapid ascendancy is causing some of these other guys to reevaluate their business model. Start by closing auctions 15 minutes after no one bids - on that item. Show some respect for your customers.
Maybe I'm peeing in the wind. All I know is that Brent & Co. are currently getting about 75% of my card budget.
++Exactly. I guess if you want to donate your time to AH's, you can go that route. IMO, it's just plain rude to expect me to watch your auction all night. This is a hobby, not a full time job for me.

Not being able to snipe at the AH is the nail in the coffin for me. I also have a high percentage of bids at PWCC, but as I've said in the past, that statistic has no relevance to me for determining shilling.
