Hey All:

So, I've been checking out the various alternatives to eBay.

So far I have come up with ePier.com and Bidville.com and OnlineAuction.com and of the three, ePier.com by far is the best, at least I think so.

Any of you doing any auctioning other than eBay? Have you checked out ePier? Of course they aren't nearly the site eBay is, but it took eBay some time to get started also. I love the ePier format as it is similar to eBay's format and there are actually some good auctions going there.

Feel free to add your assessment.

Not really.

I think it's great.

I just bought some things there, actually.

People are listing some good vintage items there and the prices are fantastic.

Of all the sites, it seems the best. I like the format, the prices are great, and it's fun to be with a new and up-and-coming auction site. Getting in at the beginning is always good.

I have listed many things on ePier, some sold some didn't. 50-50
When I list with eBay (about 300 per week) 90%+ sells. And for higher amounts than any other site.

I will stick with eBay for now, even with the higher fees, if 90% of my items sell it is all good.
