Keep in mind that about 10% will go to eBay in fees...

While I have made several purchases through auction houses, I have actually never consigned to one. One of my purchases came with two game used items, and I am interested in selling one.

I was thinking about placing the item on eBay, thinking that maybe its connection to a respected auction house could assist with a sale.

I am hoping to get feedback from forum users on a couple particular questions:

1. Have you had any success selling game used items valued between $1000 and $5000 on eBay?

2. Do you see any downside to trying this route and, if it doesn't work, consigning to an auction house?

Thanks for the insights,
Scott
