good grief that was quick!

I have just listed a BIN item:

start date: Monday, 05 Mar, 2007 07:30:00 GMT
sale date: Monday, 05 Mar, 2007 07:38:18 GMT

8 minutes from listing to sale!

I obviousy need to watch my prices as I thought that would struggle a bit. I'm currently selling off old stuff to make room for new, so am pleased with the price received, but am quite stunned by the speed!

Right buyer, right place, right time...well done Soo!!:beer:

I can beat that:
eBay Listing Confirmed: 01/03/2007 11:40
eBay Item Sold: 01/03/2007 11:42

I guess I must have underpriced it.

Had that happen to me too, I listed a retired piece from a collection and put it on at £65. (cost £60 new) anyway lady bought it immediately and then sent me a note with her paypal payment saying " Thanks for selling it at such a great price , they usually go for £100+ and I`ve never been able to afford one".

Needless to say, I was kicking myself that I hadn`t researched more !

That's great!

I sold something once in about 3 or 4 minutes, but the fact that I had put the starting price of the auction into the BIN box by mistake might have had something to do with that! Someone snapped up a bargian, getting the item for 99p instead of the £10+ it should have sold for. :doh: (Just to add insult to injury, they didn't even bother to give me any feedback! :rolleyes: )

i sold something 8 minutes after listing it as a buy it now, the feedback i received (can't remember if it was positive or neutral) said they were disappointed as it was smaller than they expected

i hadn't put measurements in the auction as i'd forgotten but the person could have asked before buying it!

Erm selling something that quick means only one thing... you listed it too cheap.

Therefore its not a good thing.

Any buy it now older than 24 hours isnt a good deal becuse, traders and collecters will have already seen that listing and deemed it too dear.

Unless your selling something which isnt sought after anyway.

As for selling too cheap..it's been listed before at less money, which makes it even weirder.

That is quick!!

I had listed a Travel system a while back, took 6 hours to appear in the listings but sold 15 minutes after it did at its BIN price.

I gave it a relatively low BIN price as travel systems werent selling partically well at the time.
