Why all the negative vibes toward Bidville? Did they do something wrong to you?
I just don't get. Do you expect Bidville to be better than eBay? Who really cares about the sell through rate. Good items will sell anywhere. I wouldn't put 95% of the stuff that I have on Bidville on eBay. That's why eBay's sell through rate is so high: people put what they think will sell. On Bidville, I put on things that I hope will sell. Yet as a collector I greatly appreciate sites such as Bidville and Bidbay. I would never find some of the "common" cards (people don't bother to list them on eBay) that I spend months looking for.
I still don't understand why you single out Bidville. Is there a better site (except for eBay)? Epier? c'mon get real. I personnaly could double the amount of basketball cards they have listed. Bidbay is okay... but no better than Bidville.
Bidville is small yet growing site. They continue to improve each week. New features are being added all the time. Sellers need a place like Bidville to compete with eBay. Nobody wants eBay to become a monopoly where they can charge sellers anything they want.

Ummmmm, daredevil2010, if you do a "site search" you'll find I've commented on ALL the alternative auction sites for which an estimated sell-through rate can be determined.
