Default Re: Vent regarding ebay buyer

I hear you Jason. No doubt the fees are getting out of hand. That is why I usually post things for sale first on specialty sites like this one. Just not so bad yet, that I will quit using them when needed. There simply isn't a good alternative when you need to show pics and my need national exposure because you have a limited market.

I recently sold a REALLY NICE red 1982 Suzuki GS1100EZ with 6200 original miles. I posted for sale over at thegsresources.com. Bike was priced fairly at $2800 and the add was up for a month. A few nibbles, but no takers. Finally put it on ebay where it sold for, you guessed it, $2800 to a very nice fellow from New Mexico. Jason, I notice you do the same thing from time to time, and I appreciate you postig things for sale here first. I always look here and at camaros.net before resorting to ebay.

Surely ebay is about to price themselves out of the market, especially with the paypal fees added to that 9%. Starting to rival Barrett - Jackson.
