I listed an item on eBay yesterday afternoon and it sold in just a matter of a few hours. I won't go into detail because I've been busted before by a buyer doing a net search of a specific item, but let's just say, I usually "push the envelope" a bit when initially listing an item, price wise that is. If it doesn't sell after a reasonable amount of time, I lower the price in small increments over a period of time until it does sell ... OR I reach a price I simply determine as the least I'll accept. Long story short, I listed a slightly beat up, chipped, scratched, stained and obviously used item for $47.50. It sold immediately! I'm happy and the buyer seems to be happy, so what's the gig? The same persact item sells BRAND SPANKIN' NEW at Wally World for $51.00. I couldn't tell you how many times this has happened. I don't get it, but I ain't complaining.
