True. Come to think of it, I haven't participated in an auction for over 5 years.
The thing I do like about ebay is they don't have the increasingly annoying dynamic pricing bullshit that Amazon is pulling.
i.e. you see a price on Amazon that's great, by the time you've spoken to your better-half and gotten back to the computer... the price has gone up!
Back to ebay though, I actually sold my car on ebay about 10 years ago... there's no way I'd attempt it these days!
