fast sale!

I'm just fiddling around to try and alter my item location and put up an item for sale as a BIN just as an experiment to see what showed as my location.

Item was listed at 4.32 and was sold at 4.46 and the paypal payment was received at 4.48..I'm staggered! It was even a BIN with best offer (and a cheeky price) and buyer paid full whack for it despite there being another BIN out there ending in 3 days at a marginally lower price.

    I'm sorry I can't say exactly what it was as there aren't that many up for sale and my id can be traced by looking for it.

    However it was a free item I was given as a marketing ploy yesterday morning, it was just sitting there in a bag by my PC and I thought I would risk 15p listing it just so I could fiddle around with my settings and see what happened. It was in th epost by 5.15pm 1st class and I am hoping it reaches buyer today so we can both leave feedback and I can complete the whole transaction within 24 hours .

    I had another freebie on my desk as well waiting to either charity shop it or recycle it, and I listed that but that hasn't even got a watcher yet.

    Knock me down with a feather...my second freebie item just sold at BIN with no offer made.

    Someone somewhere is having a laugh, my real goods sit and linger, my free items listed just to test my settings go immediately. I think that does rather prove that I have absolutely no 'eye' for the market. £8 clear profit on two items that cost me nothing at all..spooky.

    It's really weird when that happens isn't it..especially when other stuff just sits there..and sits there...and sits there.

    My first sale was posted same day and feedback left both way snext morning. So from aquiring the item , listing it and getting feedback it took less than 24 hours.
