Should I sell my old ski boots now ... Or wait for the snow, or at least the very cold weather .
Thank you !
for snow shoes I would sell them now when the first flakes fall people will want to have them already and the post will start to take twice as long after it has fallen...

I'd say list now and get ahead of the crowd - not only has south-west London turned cold, but it's now raining as well. It's probably the first day after the summer that I've had to think about wearing an extra layer."The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.

I would caution your estimate of worth though. Third hand coats a few seasons old- I think you'll be lucky to see £10 for them.
Don't forget as well that due to capped postage in the clothes section you will have to add the additional postal costs into your start price.
Free listing today though, so probably worth a try.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

I would say list them too. It's only because I have read this thread that I realised I need a new coat for the winter so have started having a look

I would list the coats now, people will want to get the most wear, and will prob start looking now.
As for the ski/snow boots, I've just bought my snow boots for this year so that I'm prepared, so I would def list those now.

It's a good time to list as most people get paid this Friday. But if it is a brand name I would take the chance at a 1p start.
List it to end after next weekend as i have found recently that people aren't buying the payday weekend.....my theory being they like to go out then and shop and if they don't find what they like they turn to Ebay....have had some really poor sale on clothing on the payday weekend.Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid doing altogether.:D0 -
Thanks for the replies
By snow boots ... I don't mean boots for the snow, but boots which fit on to skis. Maybe they are actually called ski boots.0
