Greg (and Jim) Thanks much for the kind words. I have been hearing over and over that eBay's cut has grown and grown, and to think it is now 25% is just crazy.
When I started with them it was 2%! I can't see how consigning to us, where we do ALL the work, and end up with a third or less on average, on most moderately priced consignments, is not a much better deal. And obviously lots of people agree or we would not be getting so many great consignments. And as I am sure you noticed last night, lots of prices continue to be MUCH higher than what is seen or eBay.
