is the average wait time after you win an item inportant?
to me, i would rather wait, and get the item in good shape that get it 
really fast and possibly damaged.

only reason i ask is ive won a few things last week, some for me, some 
as gifts, and im sick of waiting. call me impatient, but UG!

I usually snipe, pay as soon as the auction is over, and then wait for the
US mail to do its stuff.  Usually takes a week or 10 days from the time I win
until it arrives in my hands.  

Sellers usually give me a tracking number within 24 hours of winning, so the
lag is primarily in the delivery system.  Speed = cost in this instance.  Good
shape arrival is in the hands of the seller, since they package the things.

true.
and i pay within 4 hours of winning all my items.

and i ship the day after or 2 days at most. i usualy have them 
packaged minus a bit of tape and and address, then have USPS pickup or 
drop it off on the way to work.

i asked a few other people on one item, they said it takes her a while 
to mail out items, up to 2 weeks from end of auction... oh well.
