Title: selling stuff... Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, December 13, 2005, 17:28:31 i'm in desperate need of funds, can you really sell anything on ebay?
i've only bought stuff a couple of times myself, never sold owt. can i put stuff up for sale and take it off? if something doesn't sell for the amount i wanted can i keep it? is it hard work?

you can't take something off once it has a bid... so set a reserve (think of it as a minimum release clause) it's piss easy, but there are seller fee's Title: selling stuff... Post by: Northern Red on Tuesday, December 13, 2005, 17:36:17 Sold loads on Ebay - Imagine Car Boot Sale type stuff - you can sell anything as long as someone wants it...
E.g. Sold some Man Utd Programmes (bought for £3, sold for £6 to some bloke in Cornwall) You can take things off, but only if it's done before 12 hours left to run.... Easier to let it run its course and just sell it.... Check what things are going for - ie selling a DVD search for the latest DVD for sale and watch that auction - what's the final price. And overcharge on postage :shock: 8) Title: selling stuff...

Expect about 90% of your top bid to actually reach you.... Title: selling stuff...

Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, December 13, 2005, 17:46:15 you neglect to mention the bit about the buyer tracking you down and kicking your head in!

But I find selling stuff for about £1-5 is pointless. After paypal and ebay charges, You don't get much back. (And then there's annoying part of cashing a cheque of about £3.50). Just sell things you know are going to sale and have a good sum of money. Title: selling stuff...

Title: selling stuff... Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, December 13, 2005, 18:06:44 ebay's great; perfect for getting rid of a few dvds/cds you bought when drunk.

Geeeeeeeeetar and amp, MD Player and MD's, some old football shirts(non-STFC) and a few other things. I'll do it on the weekend i think.

Title: selling stuff... Post by: littleXdave on Tuesday, December 13, 2005, 18:54:44 Haha, you say that. My other mate was buying some long socks from ebay and he emailed the guy making sure they were brand new, this was the reply he got...
"Yeah, they are brand new in the packet, unopened. Would you like them worn?" :shock: Title: selling stuff... Post by: Bedford Red on Tuesday, December 13, 2005, 20:39:39 I've sold quite a bit on there. Mostly some old programmes I had but quite a few CD's I no longer listened to .
Make sure you list it like Dazzza says. Stuff I sold at the same time as other people sold for more cause I took care with my listings etc. It's worth the effort to get the extra money.
