Anyone used Half.com and has experiences to share? I have some esoteric
(read: crappy) items to list, but I'm not sure they'd fetch more than $4.
(Lest you think I would be wasting my time, I have nearly 100 to sell, so $400
or more is not chump change.) If I sell something on ebay for $4, and

Oh yes, I do a good business there. I don't use ebay unless they have a free listing day, they just piss me off, like Chris I guess. I just add a bit extra to

I'm going to dump a lot of stuff I bought to enter into MobyGames -- esoteric

Sadly, I'm sure this stuff hasn't been listed before.
Something you could try is list a "popular" game or two also. In the listing of the popular games ask people to check all games you have for sale under

I love BidVille. From a seller's perspective it's better than eBay. No
fees, one page to fill out info instead of five. Yeah, the traffic is far

you can run month-long auctions, so it's very low-maint

The one major disadvantage of half.com is: it is not open for

Yeah, Half attempts to make it "impossible" to directly contact a seller, but you can do it by searching on their ID on eBay and contact them that way.
Yup :)
