I certainly hope someone comes up with an alternative to ebay. I have tried yahoo auctions as a buyer and I wasn't real impressed either. It took a long time for me to get my items. If you find something, let us know. I, for one will check it out. I buy alot through ebay but I would be more than glad to switch if they could come up with a good alternative.
I will leave Ebay with over 300 all positive feedback (and one nuetral from an idiot). I loved Ebay, but there is no need to put more food on their table while mine is bare. Their rates are foolish IMHO...
