I am much more likely to sell on EBay than buy there. I have seen idiot bidders drive the price up beyond the street price for a new item (on stuff I have sold). One of them came back at me pissed that she had bid so much, but... tough. I set the opening bid at $15.00, she and the other fools bid it up to $505.

But these days with the high fees and the chunk of it that PayPal takes, I agree, I'd rather sell on Craigslist. Better deal for everyone involved.
