I'm in central PA. See post #9. Ebay fee $100. No realtor. Sold the house sight unseen, never showed it even once.

Realtors in this area seem very strange to me, a native of NY-NJ. Here it's hard to get them to come out on a Sunday. In NY they will leave their dying mother's bedside to show you a property. In NJ they'll offer you an option on her house too.

Me too. We'll be looking at selling in a few more years.

This I like. Is there someplace on the web where more information can be found? Not the eBay part, the legalities and endless requirements part.

A friend of mine mentioned that in some edition of the Wall Street Journal about last March that State College Pennsylvania was listed as 3rd in places of most overvalued real estate. The Realtors in this area have their claws into it and it shows.

I think they have the people snookered into putting their houses on the market at unusually high prices with promises of getting that amount of money. Meanwhile, the owner brunts the burden of paying for the realtor's inventory of homes, and they are locked into fixed period of being with that broker and they continue to keep the prices high expecting to get the money. If everyone is coerced into doing this, the prices remain high and the relator's control the market.

I have a saying; "Give me 6% to sell your house and I will lay my fat,lazy carcass across your front door."

Thanks for the Ebay information.
