They have 30 seats here, and there are only 4 people here, including myself.

A hand mirror just went for $350. Empty perfume bottles for $300. Two soap dishes for $900.... I'm out of my league....

JMO, but anyone that pays $900 for a fukcing soap dish is a moron.

I hate to say it but a lot of that stuff may well show up on eBay etc.

I bought in the last auction, and hit my upper limit on her wardrobe road case, but didn't think it fully through about the commission and taxes and fees and shipping ... it all added another roughly 2k to what I paid....

I absolutely sat this one out after that..

Holy crap.
Yeah, I've read the fine print on the added fees. They're sticking it to you.
