Re: Advice for found collection
good luck !
keep the start price low so people think they are getting a bargain ! (to start with)
its very easy to get carried away with bidding and the price will soon start to climb once you get 2 or 3 interested buyers !

Re: Advice for found collection
hmm not sure what to do now, as i want to start a price im happy selling it for worst case scenario. i dont want in 10 days to see every lot go for 99p
i had plenty of 50 quid plus offers on here for the shadows and when they were on ebay for less no one bid.

Re: Advice for found collection
a lot of people browse ebay and see a high start price so they dont bother watching.
I know I do, anything on ebay that starts for more than a fiver I dont bother with out of principal.
there is no bargain to be had so why bother ?
I would have paid more than £50 for the shadows if they had started at 99p !!!

Re: Advice for found collection
If something starts low and you pop a little bid on, it comes up at the top of your Ebay homescreen even if you are outbid, it stays on your homescreen till the end of the auction so is there as a constant reminder.
There is a certain sense to the last bit, you can`t ignore something if its always there so you bid more, rambling now, shutting up..........................
