Surely the principle of an auction is that the price starts low and then people bid it up and the final price reflects both demand and what people are prepared to pay for it? One of the major things I hate about ebay now is when people put shit on there for Ł10 less than the buy it now price. Thats what a reserve is for. If it doesnt reach it, its because people arent prepared to pay that much.

What Zanf said about initial pricing. Start it low for advertising, it will reach whatever price the market bears. eBay prices strongly favor the seller, so you will be guaranteed to get what it's worth.

If you want to know the going prices, go to eBay and do a search on "Completed listings". You'll see what sales were like in the last 2 weeks, which is about what yours will go for.

You might not find any results for the aieb2, but you can just send that to me if you'd like.

Third that advice.

Start your auction low, like 50-60% of what you hope to get. Except anything that is really specialized, like the aieb2 card or whatever, you might start that higher because not many people would search for it...I don't know.

Some other advice: decide if you want to do international shipping and then put information about it (i.e., whether you do or not, costs) in the auction listing otherwise you get a bunch of questions about it.

Another thing, I usually take anything I sell to UPS and have the store employees pack the box. It costs extra, like $10, so I charge a handling charge. It's good if anything happens, UPS can't deny the insurance claim based on insufficient packing.

for shipping i usually lose because i do it wrong and lose money... how should i mark it.... tell them to contact seller for shipping fees? isn't ups expensive to use?
