REA vs. ebay

Hi Steve,
I have sold items in REA in the past years and have some lots in his auction now. To answer some of your questions his fee is 10%usually to the seller. He runs his auction I believe once a year and usually looks for the best or bigger ticket items for it. My experience with Rob has always been positive and he is very easy to work with. Now ebay may be a better bet for the lower priced items or items that are more commonly found. The bigger auctions tend to want higher end items and items that generate good intrest. As for prices we all know that depends on who wants it at the time and a good starting price and is it an item that will generate good intrest! I have had good results also on ebay where prices have exceeded what I wanted for the item. If your items are quality then go to the auction house if they are more of the general items then try ebay. You may be surprised. REA auctions are done very profesionally and you will be treated with great care! As for prices I would say my items exceeded what I thougt I would get. Hope that helps.
