i have sold several things and it has been well worth it. because i'm a nobody seller, if i sell directly on ebay, i get wacked with about 12% off the top. the consignors have deals cut with ebay, so they only pay about 7-8%. so the consignor charges me 12-15% which is about what it would cost me anyways and they deal with taking pictures, writing descriptions, marketing the auction, answering buyer questions, and most importantly, dealing with buyers who are not happy with said items. well, well worth a couple (if any) extra percentage points IMO.
