3. It's definitely not worth the time

and expense if you don't have a lot of stock to move and are just looking to unload what you have. There are so many sellers there, it can take a large inventory of listings (among other things) to be found. It's more geared towards those wanting to sell as an ongoing business.

You can see what things have sold as there is a link in all shops on the left sidebar to their sold items. It won't display the amount the item sold for but if you know how to view a page source and the HTML coding of a given page, you can find out the price it was listed at.
