We have a UPS store that offers the same "service". I believe they receive somewhere in the vicinity of 25 or 30 percent to sell your items. What a deal.This message has been edited by Lone Ranger on 04-15-2005 at 11:31 PM

I think it's a good deal for someone that has a load of stuff collecting dust in their basement. Also added to the sellers's commission might be listing fees and e-bay commission fees. If you have a load of stuff, you could probably barter that figure. The seller has to take photos, post them with text, monitor the sale, answer questions about the sale, finalize the payment. Plus, he/she has to keep your stuff and offer insurance in case of theft or loss. I think it's worth the 25%

I have bought a lot of stuff from similar sites.just recently a complete prowler door, hood, and two rear quarters for my prowler wall project, and what i have found is that they answered all my questions ASAP, sent extra pics on request, they have all been Packed very well and the shipping has been far far less than i could have ever expected. I've Been happy with these types of sites so far. Its really no different than a consignment store that takes 30-35% except that it reaches a much larger market. Toys
