I have bought (used D&D) stuff from Amazon before, but only because I was impatient.

I think it's pretty spotty.  I mean, when I go looking for an item, I don't even search Yahoo auctions anymore.

I have searched Froogle but that mostly turns up new 3E crap. (and 3E is crap IMHO.../rant)

Here's what I think:  Amazone DOES get browsers, but you're likely to have your item up there a LONG time, then again, you can name your price.

On Ebay, I think you have a higher likely hood of moving it in a week or so if you're reasonably priced... and you might get lucky and get a newbayer bidding war.

I think for our niche, either alt.rpg.marketplace on Usenet, a posting here or on ENWorld or Ebay are you 3 top choices for attracting an audience.

Amazon would be like.. pretty close to the bottom I think.

Just my humble opinion.

I auctioned an 8th+ printing Basic Set and an I6 Ravenloft there and they went for $50 each, but that was berfore ebay became a household name.

It reminds me of a more hard to sort through half.com if thats what you meant by auction site.

I read the fees for selling there and they take up to 15% on auction close (you only get charged when it sells) which is pretty high I guess.  Its no wonder "Keep on the Borderlands" is listed at $40 good used over there.
