Top ebay powerseller, time-warp, starts drop off biz...

Good article about a couple that started selling on ebay under time-warp and now have a drop off business in Santa Cruz called "Time Warp Trading Post".

This is a growing trend - top powersellers opening a retail outlet to take in consignment business. I think this model works much better than the AuctionDrop approach.


There's a PESA member - bbguy who has a drop off center called Auction Zone that is doing VERY well we hear.
