We do understand that there is a risk of running a true auction due to a smaller audience (to start) impacting the bottom line; that may be a short term hit that needs to be taken to secure a long term solution. Even then, taking a much smaller % then eBay, items that sell for less still don't net out too badly. Alternatively, a reasonable starting bid or a reserve offer protection.

I understand that Matt, and when I get the time I very well may give it a shot. Unfortunately I'm only one person and have two websites and my regular auctions to maintain.
I have scoped out GrandSlamBids several times already to try and get a hang of the navigation, and when I am confident enough and have some spare time, I'll probably have a serious go at it.
