eBay has indeed found an amazing niche. I've been gladly forking what one would consider an outrageous fee for auctioning off one's items, simply because the stuff sells so predictably. I regularly list stuff that one would consider junk and make a buck. Just auctioned off a decade old Asus eee PC for $50 (it still works though). Im so okay giving ebay 5 bucks for this ability! I made a few dollars, a working laptop found some home, and i threw less into the trash!
