FASTEST:
Hunt
Lelands
Mastro
Mile High
Clean Sweep (Verkman)
Bricol (for low-end stuff that the big ones won't take)

SLOWEST:
American Memorabilia
Grey Flannel

Most are pretty good about paying promptly. But if I really need the money fast, I use Ebay. Instead of having to wait 3 months for the Catalogue to be produced, and another 40 days to be paid, you wait one week for the auction to run its course and another week to be paid.

So the whole ebay process takes about 2 weeks to realize the money, as opposed to over 4 months for the Big Cataloge Auctions. For super high-end goods though, you have to go with the "big guys".
