Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 1194089, member: 22331"]History Often Repeats Itself Having been a long time seller on Yahoo before the auction option was eliminated, having sold thousands of items in that venue, and other more current eBay competitive auction sites, I respectfully must disagree with your optimism. I recently have, currently offer, items on eBid, this site, and others at appreciably less than C.D.N. "bid". These items would sell in a day on eBay, in an organized fashion without receiving unpaid bids, scam messages, etc.. Yahoo discontinued a service that was expanding, drawing some great return buyers with diverse interests. I enjoyed that the buyers on Yahoo were willing to pay a fair price for a like product. Low fee sites generally attract "low-lifes", without paying the bills that are required for continued operation. I constantly must respond to the trash received by craigslist viewers who seemingly don't have a "real" functional life. I haven't heard many complaints about the free amenities, nor the fees associated with selling in the "premier" auction venues (e.g. Heritage), who like eBay offer a quality service at a price that allows elimination of those who might not totally appreciate the service. IMHO, generally something received for free is appreciated in proportion to the fee paid. :smile[/QUOTE]
