I hate ebay auctions that aren't really auctions. From time to time I like to do a search through ebay's real estate section looking for places on trout streams. I just completed a search ~~ three parcels came up ~~ none of them were real auctions. They were all three fixed priced auctions and all you were bidding on was the "down payment." My rant ~~ if it is a real estate listing, then list it with a company. If it is not a real auction then don't put it on ebay.
