GB's search function has been superior to GA's for as long as I can remember. As both buyer and seller, I prefer the auction format, despite the spite bidding and sniping, because it allows a glimpse at the realm of the possible, produces over time a market track record (completed items) to the engaged and observant, and a bid is a very simple trigger of mutual contractual obligation. GA format provides only the seller's fantasy, I don't enjoy the process and expense of discovering which of these fantasists can be talked out of the stratosphere, and I find I can't get half these guys on the phone let alone by electronic mail. With that said, GA actually looks worse at a glance so if it functions as bad as it looks, it can't be good.
