EBay, Collectors, Flea Market & Antiques

I've never bothered with an ebay store because there are certain times of the year when ebay is so slow it's not worth bothering with. I've just started listing again and I've sold a few things, but nothing to get excited over. I only do fixed price now. When ebay first started, auctions were amazing. Now, with about a trillion items for sale on the site, you can list a valuable item for $9.99 and end up selling it for that because the listing is buried. I might just be getting old and lazy, but I mostly sell in a brick and mortar store now. People can examine an item before they buy it and there's no shipping involved.
