The reasons auctions are faster is because 1) There's a time limit on the auction 2) If someone takes too long to pay you, you can leave negative feedback. Sometimes, when I sell stuff on my page, people take a _long_ time to send me money. I can understand if we've made arrangments because I know we're all busy, but some people take advantage and lie. 3) I'm sure some things would go fast if they were put up for sale on people's pages for really cheap, but most people probably want a chance to make a little more money than that really fast. I sort of like the method of putting it up for sale on the page, maybe lowering the price if it doesn't sell, or then auctioning it. No one is going to go public with "Because I make a lot of money"...no one wants to admit to being greedy. Sure, I'm sure there are some people who do it for that reason, but they're never going to go out and say it. They can always come up with another reason. Remember, it's easy to say 'auction' because it's 'one of a kind' I don't know what is critical...though I know we've gone over this with Sailormoon. I think it all depends on is have two or more people who _really_ want the cel. Keys -I have yet to auction of a cel and don't know if I would in the future. |
