are up to 15%. When you go to a local auction you have to consider that fee, as well as your time away from work, travel expenses, quite often taxes, and cost of getting the object home.
A few years ago, Ebay was the subject of a Jepardy question. The answer was, the fastest profit growing internet company. Answer-Ebay.
It is an American success story that should inspire us. I believe they employ 1200 people and who knows how many others have stock in the company, ie pension funds etc.
So when a business does well, many benefit, not just the top brass.
