I'm not talking about the Buyers Premium the AH tacks on the the hammer price, I'm saying I'm not paying a sellers fee upfront in addition to the BP the AH collects.
I've also had many items sell for 15%-150% over what I expected them to sell for, and so far this has by far made up for the items that fall short of my expectations. Many items sell for more than perceived market value.
