There is another store in the Seattle area that has all their old product in a warehouse. I'm talking stuff dating from the beginning of the RPG industry and they are just letting it rot.

I've always done pretty well with my auctions, but after opening an ebay store I'm almost surprised at how easy it is to sell inventory. There really seems to be a number of people who want items RIGHT now from a reliable seller with good reputation, etc. etc. I think that the non-negotiable fixed price cures them of their bidding "indecision". I also think that sometimes people WANT to pay more. Then they can say to themselves (or their friends) : " Look, this Twilight 2000 game cost me $35 and it's in perfect shape!" If they won it on the cheap for $11 in an auction, they might feel that the item wasn't really WORTH anything.Anyway, just some thoughts . . .

I mostly sell miniatures (only a 100 items or so) and it is great fun. The best part is if things get a little to busy, you can suspend operations with a single touch of a button until you catch up.I will probaly never get as many items up as badmike but he does it full time. I just do it to get cash to spend on more stuff!
