What are some good auction sites? I haven't ever found any that look legit.

I'm primarily using eBay, but I didn't name names because the best option where other people are may vary.

The seller I bought from wasn't actually an auction (though auctions can be great too) - it was a "buy it now" item from a business seller who does electrical "waste" recycling for office businesses.

Regardless of the platform, those kind of sellers are ideal because they have a lot of inventory and are more concerned with getting rid of it than they are with getting the highest price on any single item.
