Darren,
I agree 100% with you. I've always listed items on PF first before
going to eBay if they didn't sell, which was rare. As you say,
patience is required as some lenses will sit on PF for 2-3 weeks with
nothing happening, then suddenly I get 3 PM's on the same day with
people making offers.
I don't know how many items I've sold on PF, but it's always been a
very pleasant experience--for all the shouting that goes on in the
forums, I've found people to be courteous in our 1-on-1 interactions.
This might be because I've sold mainly to Canadian buyers (for
whatever reason) :-D
Cheers,
—M.
