I have been on bonanzle.com for two months now. They are doing very well. Now in 4th place on powersellersunite list. This site is not auction, just buyitnow and OBO. It's free to list with very small FVF. You get a 30 free trial with no FVF. Folks can see all your stuff in one place and you can chat live with your customers right in your booth.
This is by far the freindliest commmunity I have seen and I have tried some others. If you are looking for an alternative to ebay this just may be what you are looking for.
Over 21,000 members strong and growing everyday. The fastest growing seller site on the web.
Top 10 and a Half Reasons to Bonanzle
10. See one item, see 'em all. Your items are no longer rubber duckies lost in an ocean of items. On Bonanzle, if a buyer sees one of your items, they'll see up to 8 others prominently featured. Sellers sell faster, buyers find what they want more quickly.
9. Offers on your terms. Name your price on a custom-made group of items from a seller. Whee! and deal.
8. Cheap, cheap, cheap! The presentation might be slick here, but that doesn't mean you're getting fleeced. Bonanzle keeps overhead low by using open source technology and Google-like strategies and we pass our savings on to you. What will you pay to Bonanzle? How about nothing unless you're a power seller?
7. Importers. eBay and Craigslist item importers mean you can start Bonanzling in seconds.
6. Price guesser. Why spend five minutes logging onto eBay and item searching to figure out how to price your item, when you can have us tell you in five seconds?
5. Picture cropper. Why didn't anybody think of this before? Take few pictures, post many items.
4. Go from "want it" to "possess it" in minutes. Sellers can pre-specify when items can be picked up from them, so you can search for items that can be picked up soon, today, or now.
3. The miraculous one page, one minute item post. Who knew that posting an item for sale could be done with five simple fields and no page loads?
2. Chat while shopping. Buying and selling is the destination, but we bet you'll have more fun on the journey than at the destination. Where else can you meet people who live nearby you with similar interests, and still buy and sell items faster than eBay?
1. Bonanza! The site is called "Bonanzle" for a reason! A Bonanza is a live garage sale that proves the universal truth that your stuff + lots of people = $ $ $ !
1/2. Simple is beautiful.

when i signed up there were just over 8,000 members. it is now over 34,000.
it certainly isn't ebay but it's not costing me anything to stay there and i can still list other places.

Cool. I always worry when someone states that they are selling like crazy only to find out that items they are selling is worthless sports cards. Clearly, you have items of value and thanks for the heads up.

i thought i would bump this now that ebay has raised rates to where many of us can not afford to sell there.
Stuff has changed at bonanza since this post and for the BETTER. I just started selling there and its wonderful. FREE to list, import feedback (all sellers) import ebay listings which is GREAT! I am such a fan and would encourage everyone that sells to jump on in after all its FREE to list and only pay a TINY FVF (for up to $10.00 its only $.50 and thats even for 10 $1 items)
