Yeah, I doubt SC will ever compete with the sheer HUGE potential
buyers audience that eBay has. I know BRICKS never will - if for
no other reason than it doesn't offer a lot of the features and I
just plain don't spend much time talking it up.
People make more money via eBay - can't argue with that. I created
JABA for me because I wasn't interested in truly maximizing profit
if that meant forking over money to eBay all the time (although I am
tempted to sell some high dollar stuff there). I created BRICKS for
everyone else because I figured some people would agree with me.
Maybe Yahoo is good enough though, and BRICKS is just kinda
redundant...

Random people that are happy with e-bay will log and and do a random search. For example: 5 Windshields from 6441 went for over (...) (25 years ago, 9-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.theory)
