Well, eBay and many other Auction sites seem to be doing well with their static auctions.

Auctions at both boards are totally geared toward reseller to reseller sales. This is reflected by the very low average sales price per name in the lower double digits. It is doubtful if this will ever change.

Otherwise, each of the boards has their own unique features and different membership make-up. Neither has re-invented the wheel.

Good point. I hope that one or both of the auctions can move more toward higher margin sales to end-users... or at least further along the reseller-to-enduser continuum.

well... I talked with some folks and might try posting some different names in both places to gauge the results.
