    And my local auction house charges me 25%. This place is an hour drive from me, so I only go when I have a truckload.

    25% is way more than I get charged from E-bay and paypal combined. Plus I will get a higher price there than at a local auction based on the number of people that see it. This goes out the window for large items though.

    i secont that, the fees combined are under 15% and the exposure to alot more of a buyer pool greatly exceeds a local auction house, but again they are doing all the work and there time is worth somthing so i see that side of it also
    I buy and sell all types of scrap and escrap. I buy specialty and hard to sell escrap. I buy resale items. PM me or contact me at jghilino@hotmail.com
    I AM ACTIVELY BUYING ESCRAP OF ALL TYPES. BOARDS, RAM, CPUS AND MUCH MORE
