I've stated before that I would be willing to pay a percentage on the gross
totals of my sales/auctions to someone who can make it truly simple for me to
automate the process. Just in what I've done year-to-date I'd estimate I
would have be willing to pay anywhere from $270 to $540 to automate the sales
I've done (and continue to do).

There was a time when I thought the only person who could come up with
something to meet most, if not all, of my auction/selling needs would be Todd
and LUGNET and I begged for the opportunity to sell my stuff through some sort
of LUGNET/AucZILLA interface. I'd still be interested in the possibility, but
there are more opportunities for doing this sort of thing now ... and more
than one on the way.
