Best, find the one you like best and work it. I personally like Bidville, but the whole thing comes down to the seller. I do very well.
You will need patience,
the werewithall to bring some buyers with you,
Low prices and decent items,
Make yourself known in the community.
That is my best advice for Bidville, however, I believe it would apply at any site you choose

Of those three choices, I would say pack up your items and store them in the basement where it will be difficult to get at them as you are not going to sell anything at any of those sites. That is how much bidding goes on at any of those three.
I wish you luck anyway.

Technically Bidville would be the busiest by virtue of its 1.1 million listings. But the majority of the bidding there involves sellers buying from sellers and very low value sportscards that are present at no other site. Sales, dollarwise, may be higher at SYI. For example, 1,000 sales a week at BV may only total $1,500 but 500 sales a week at SYI may total $3,000. It's not the quantity but the quality that should be calculated in the sales figures.
Of the three Carnaby has the best site design and management team but it really appears to be circiling the drain lately as sales are very slow there lately.
If you can afford a nickel a listing for a 10 or 14 day run then Yahoo is the much better choice. If the item sells on the relist that relist is free ( just like ebay ).

I trust if you are going to have your own auction business that you are smart enough to investigate a potential site yourself and not listen to the BS spewed on this site.

Have you quality checked every single auction at BV Blairwitch? May we see the credential's that make you an authority, now?
