IMO, its a glut of auctions. Far too many to even check out, let alone keep
track of what I'm bidding on.
Also, with Baylit, I can buy parts directly at a fixed price. The prices on
some items may be slightly more than I might have gotten through an auction,
but the service is excellent, I can get the exact number of parts that I want,
and I don't have to fight for them in a bidding war.
