Which Online Estate Agent?

I asked a similar question a month or so ago. In the end we saw a property we liked and wanted a "quick" sale so I decided the extra cost of an estate agent would probably help as they would have contact lists etc. The agent we used was selling the property we were interested in as well so if we bought and sold with them the rate would be 1% so not too bad.
Been on the market now for coming up to 2 weeks and so far no interest at all! no viewings or nothing. So the quick interest we hoped for hasn't materialised. Possibly we have priced to high but we had 3 agents round and they all came up with the same asking price and other properties have sold around that price. Maybe I was expecting too much but I had hoped for a few viewings in the first couple of weeks.
We'll give them 2 months and then switch to an online agent and possibly save ourselves 1k in fees which will allow us to start lowering the asking price.....0
