I have to agree, the fees/greed were the first nail in the coffin.....it all plays into ebay being worse every day to sell than it was the day before.
when they piled on with the rest of the stupid decisions they've made, it made ebay an awful place to sell.

I'd decided to go for it and was ready to buy all the sheetmetal for my resto, and dumped like 8 aluminum hemi heads and a LA race block to fund the project.
Could have definitely grossed more on ebay or here, but didn't want to screw around with shipping and the exorbitant fees, and likely when done would have netted less, especially when time was considered.
Called a local engine builder, got rid of it all in two trips, then turned around and spent every penny. Priced it all low enough that he could put some work into the pieces and re-sell at a higher price easily.

Currently will buy on ebay but won't sell there.
