I can't say much about the price, except that the premium price is a direct
result of the ease of use and level of trust people experience with
AucZILLA.
It's a *lot* easier to watch and bid for parts on AucZILLA than most other
auction systems. Especially eBay. I can handle bidding for sets on eBay,
a few at a time, but I can't imagine dealing with parts-bidding where I
might be involved in dozens of lots simultaneously. If I tried that on
eBay, I'd go nuts, dealing with the fixed-end-times of all the different
auctions. And then dealing with hooking up with all the different
parts-sellers.
Blech.
As for the time-lag, yeah, that is annoying. But AucZILLA is also getting
better. I haven't tracked the time lag for the various iterations, but I'm
certain I'm getting the parts sooner after the end of the auction than I
used to.
