Barry: I think you should hang in there. Prior to this year, I had only consigned one card in my life (it went ot REA). For various reasons I have had to sell off a part of my collection. In this day and age when I personally believe EBay totally blows, auction houses are a must. I definately would have considered you, but now I hope I don't have to sell any more of my collection. Two of the most important aspects to me is: which auction is next and will I get paid in a reasonable time frame. Timing of money in hand is key, but I am no longer willing to use EBay since they have made it difficult to sell within their framework.
Because of EBay and their crappy business practices, I think the use of auction houses is going to expand not retract.
