I balance money on the table versus not handing an AH a cut of the action. After all, 100% of $100 is the same as 80% of $120.

Not quite Adam, but we get your point:

The first is $100.
The second is $96.

Heh, my bad. What I meant was that a $100 private sale is the same net to me as a zero commission $120 auction result because of the 20% BP.

Falco, wow, haven't thought of him in a while. Poor bastard got hit by a bus.
