I much prefer the hobby auction house option where there is a given day and an certain quantity of material that remains the same for the duration of the auction. Prices do tend to be higher in this format.
Poor listings, lots of junk around it, and cruddy photos is why I love eBay. By checking in multiple times a day, I get a lot of steals and scoop up low BIN's that I would never win for that price from a proper auction house or listing.

I love sellers that do little research, take a garbage pic, and select a seemingly random price for their BIN. I get why it's annoying to many, but my collection is built on it.
