credit_crunch

hi ginga

i would say about a quarter or my items that i have sold have went to destinations outside the UK.

i have posted to italy, tenerife, australia, croatia and no bother with any of them - hth

i have 7 or 8 items ending 2day - only 2 have bids - a few to relist but i doubt il get any new items on 2day - (note to self - must get motivated lol)

ebay doing well - hope others doing well too...

so any further thoughts on me advertising cyprus holiday? what a bout selling a car on ebay??? i have one to sell.

i guess selling children is bit off? if you know differently please let me know. obviously i would put a reasonably high reserve on the child i was selling!

time for my medication i think...

I was wondering if anyone here had sold medals before?? I had a load which I took photos of and intended to post today but I can't find enough information on how much they're worth so I'l going to not put them on there and do some proper research.

Would I be better off taking them to a real auction?

Is now too early to start posting my auctions, would I be better waiting until 4 or 5pm after most peoples sunday lunch?

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Had a look at eBay; there's plenty of Cyprus apartments on there but I would be really concerned about taking Paypal as the payment. What happens if they do a 'not as described'? I have no idea what the rules are about this - saw on one that it said Paypal claims had to be within 45 days.

Car; my friend tried to sell his car but he put a reserve price on that was way too high so he got plenty of bids but not high enough. Make sure you put 'payment on collection'. I think you are allowed not to have Paypal on a car listing?

As for children; well they are so common aren't they? :rotfl:Don't think you'll get very much at all so I wouldn't bother.

Definatly get them checked by a military auction specialist miss - if you cannot say exactly what the medal is you won't get the value. If you have names, regiment etc of the recepient that will increase the value too. A lot of auctioneers will give you a value from sending in photos by email

An antiques expert I deal with through work recommends http://bosleys.co.uk/ as the best military auctioneers in the country

I need a serious kick up the bum when it comes to ebaying... I have been so lazy this last fortnight. I have a wholeee bag of stuff to list (was hoping to do it tonight) but have zero motivation I feel like I'm drowning in clutter.

How are you all doing?

I'm not very quick with this listing

I managed to get 16 buy in now ebay auctions on tonight. I listed them for 7 days and underpriced whatever was listed the same. I then realised I could have listed them for 30 days for the same price and put them on tuesday to finish sunday. I debated this but I'm moving so I want it sold in the next few days so at least I listed them.

Wish I could have got more on but proud I started!

I just listed 9 items on Amazon and Play. Don't feel like doing any more tonight as I've been up since 6am

Come on Completely - just think of the lovely money you will get when all that clutter sells. I know exactly how you feel though

sold 6 so for.
Had 50 listed, was hoping for at least double that
oh well, i guess its just major relisting and added 8 more to the list:T

Most of mine didnt sell tonight, what a pain. Will relist, at least that bit is easy to do.
