If i need something fast I use buy it now. If I dont I use the auction. ALL of my auction I put up I put a buy it now on it for usualy 5 bucks more than my starting bid. That way if someone has to have it now they can have it now they just gonna pay for it. I would say I sell most of my stuff maybe 80 to 90 percent by the people using the buy it now function. Heck I sold a DVDRW last night for $18 bucks 30 mins after I posted it. Just took that $5 PC i baught and made me some nice cash. The funny part was this was right after I baught those bits for $17.
