Hi Lana,
We do. It's proven to be an easy way to gather desired items - especially ephemera. We have a separate account and check book just for online auctions. I also gather in a lot of stuff that is used in exhibitions (lens, props, tech stuff). I've only been stiffed once out of several
successful transactions. We have not sold anything. And, we don't have a written policy. I'd be happy to talk with you more. Seasons greeting to all at CP.
We do miss Candlelight.
