Dr. Frank for the win! That's exactly what I was thinking. This is not more auctions, it is an effort to compete with eBay. REA has done great with its Encore auctions, which are basically targeted at eBay. I consigned a ton to them because it is retail sales and mimics eBay without the lunacy on the fulfillment end. They also have that very reasonable flat fee $10 shipping, so you can buy a bunch of cards at low prices and not get destroyed on shipping. I hate HA's weeklies because of the ridiculous minimum BP and shipping. Paying $70 for a $25 card is normal there. But there was a gap in the market between eBat and AHs who don't have a retail wing. Nothing makes my teeth gnash like having an AH glop together all sorts of stuff in my consignment to make some random minimum value, just so an eBay seller could break it down and take my profit.
