Buy it Now vs auctions on eBay

Are there any other options to sell cards other then ebay ?

How about a site with no listing fees and 3% if a card sells ! Does this exist ? Why not ? My son lists all his legos on a site called bricklink.com and it's great for him because it doesn't cost anything to list and low Final Value Fees, 3%. List cards until they sell. Check out this site, I think it would work great for cards and other collectibles.

There is a new site that has a large banner at the top of this page, Grandslambids.com ......The listing fee is .03 right now and the most you would be charged is a 1.5% final value fee.....It has most features that ebay has but some it doesn't....like, when an auction is over you can see all bidders, internal sniping, bulk auto lister, no mandatory online payments, both buyers and sellers can leave feedback....less fakes...etc etc...... It is almost free at the moment so hopefully folks will give it a whirl.


sorry Matt...we posted at the same time...yes, that was me as someone else ...LOL

cool website, but traffic is not as heavy as ebay

Right now. EBay has the most traffic and probably will for a long time. But a niche auction company such as Leon and Matt's venue, should be able with more advertising and word of mouth to build a nice buisness.

EBay has gone away from an "auction" house to a "fixed-sale" house and that is great for most of what is sold on the Bay EXCEPT for collectibles. Collectibles are good for an auction style set up

So, join the new site and let it grow to become an alternative in the card sense to EBay but not a replacement.
