I think the party's just about over for a lot of us. Been coming for ages. Something about killing the golden goose methinks. 2003 to 2010 were good years, since then I have often thought to give it away.  Profits aside, the enjoyment has just about gone, which is bad news. Hardly worth the effort listing this year. Fees too high, too many NPBs and other time-wasters these days.  Also a bit fed up of eBay/PayPal making more on my sales than I do. Best way to make money is to start an auction website that gets some moderate success, then wait for ebay to buy you out of competition/business!

Maybe a good time to get off the computer and see what it's like outside!
