Why would anyone want to committedly hold on to something like a car for over 6 months, meanwhile having it depreciate, while they wait to see if enough tickets are sold? And with a traffic rating of only 304,770, it's very unlikely enough tickets would be sold. And then, they lose 27% of the price in commissions? I think I'll stick with Ebay.
well, thats why you set the price of to auction at 27% or more over the price. Thats the beauty.... if it takes off you could be selling stuff after the fees and still making more than msrp.
