OT? Yahoo Free Listing Day

But the problem with Yahoo is that hardly anyone sells there (in comparison)
and that stooooopid auto-continue feature they run has made me and many
others pull totally out of Yahoo auctions. Everytime I check for just about
anything on ebay I find a deal, on Yahoo I've found one or two things and
then when I had sniped the auction it continued for 10 more minutes- that's
BS.

By the way I normally never bid early- sniping is the only way I go anymore
unless buy-it-now is reasonable.

Many of the online "retailers" that frequent ebay also have an equal amount
of schtuff on Yahoo anymore, same difference but with less to choose from
and freaky features.

ebay starts charging for buy-it-now...a whopping nickel for each item. I
know, 2000 buy-it-now items equals mucho dinero for ebay.

This may be a bit off topic, but Yahoo is having a Free Listing Day on
January 24th thus reducing their already reasonable rates :). They do
have a Vintage classification and I expect to have some "stuff" there.
Yahoo has the facilities in place to handle a large number of auctions,
and with ebay continuing its direction towards retail, collectables need
a site that *wants* them.
