I have no experience in the private sales area of the hobby as a buyer or seller however I know several who are buying and selling in that manner. I would say that sector of the hobby is still as healthy as ever especially for the higher priced cards or items which are considered more scarce. I think auction houses still see more of that type of material because most either do not know how to reach a buyer or seller and the auction house is a more convenient method to transact business.
