Why is their description so lousy, tho?
It's always frustrated me that those live auctions on eBay have 95% less description than the regular auction items.
They don't list condition up front.
For their extra 15-30%, they could at least be straight up about detailed descriptions and condition.
I've never been moved to go the live auction route on eBay.....

I concur
The extra cost, plus no guarantee on condition = BOO, HISSSSS!

geeze
that is what condition reports are for. every auction house in the world does as they do. interested in something? email, phone , or mail asking for a full condition report. as for the 20%.... that is how auctions make their money. i think if you email or call in for an absentee bid or phone-in bid you can skirt the Ebay extra costs and only pay the auction house.
a pretty basic sale by Wright's standards however... the GOOD stuff comes up in December!! get out your cheque-books!$!

Still would like info
Modern: I guess I agree with everything you've said, except when you an item up for auction on eBay - whether Live Auction or regular, I'd like to see the same information....I don't want to call or email....I want to shop around for what I want to bid on easily.
Outside of the eBay environment, it's fine, but within the eBay environment, I want info.

Think of it this way -- the more hoops there are, the less willing the competition sometimes are to jump through them, leaving less players on the field. I scored this way once with these kinds of auctions. Wright20; amazing stuff, SHOCKINGLY overpriced on most items.
