The reasons auctions are faster is because 
1)  There's a  time limit on the auction
2)  If someone takes too long to pay you, you can leave negative
feedback.  Sometimes, when I sell stuff on my page, people
take a _long_ time to send me money.  I can understand if we've
made arrangments because I know we're all busy, but some people
take advantage and lie.
3)  I'm sure some things would go fast if they were put up for
sale on people's pages for really cheap, but most people 
probably want a chance to make a little more money than that 
really fast.

I sort of like the method of putting it up for sale on the 
page, maybe lowering the price if it doesn't sell, or then
auctioning it.  

No one is going to go public with "Because I make a lot of 
money"...no one wants to admit to being greedy.  Sure, I'm 
sure there are some people who do it for that reason, but 
they're never going to go out and say it.  They can always
come up with another reason.  Remember, it's easy to say 'auction'
because it's 'one of a kind'

I don't know what is critical...though I know we've gone over
this with Sailormoon.  I think it all depends on is have two or
more people who _really_ want the cel.

the future.
