Listing advice

Hi

I have 4 plates from a quality dinner service to sell. I only have these 4 plates however.

Having checked other listings, they are mostly available through several Business sellers. They do seem to sell, although not massively popular and if you add in the various P&P charges tend the buyer's total outlay tends to be around £9 each plate.

People do also seem to buy them in 2's and 3's sometimes and most sellers list with "BIN" and "x available"

Can anyone suggest the best way for me to list them (as a private seller) to stand the best chance of getting a reasonable price?

Many thanks (again!)

    Well it is a free listing day today so you could try all 4 for a good price and if that doesn't work you could always relist as singles and see what happens

    Don't forget to factor in the weight of the really good packaging it will need to make sure you don't have an unpleasant surprise with the postage cost.
