really ebayers

[violentluke]

This is not to promote my auction just to rant

 

I have a hulk 180 181 and 182 on ebay that i cant sell..180 and 181 missing stamp but complete otherwise and 181 has heavy inking on cover..the entire the incredible hulk logo is colored in..Its cheap at 99.99 bid and 129.00 BIn but I cant get anything with only today left to sell..

 

Yet there is another person selling hulk 180 181 and 182..All 3 stamps are missing and hulk 181 missing 3 pages including a story page and a rat ate through the entire bottom right side of comic but his auction is at 150.00 buks with 2 days left on it...

 

Is inking on cover really worse than 3 pages missing including a story page and the entire bottom right side missing?

 

Im confused but feel better now

He probably started the bidding at 0.99.

[violentluke]

that make that much of a difference?

[seanfingh]

 

Not always, but many times, yes. You have to get the pump primed before the real action starts.

[violentluke]

Im just afraid of it selling for 25.00 buks and I would do a reserve but Ive noticed most the time people dont even waste the time to bid on those

[yecul]

Do you want to sell it quick or for your price?

[violentluke]

I want to sell it quick so I can upgrade other comics but ide like to get close to what im asking for it or ill just wait..So no it not a need to do thing just a want to do thing with a short time frame

This seems to attract alot more interest. Not every time, but most. At least that's how it's been with my listing's

24 hours is a long time in ebay land. i'd imagine they get bids before the end of the day, though the 181 sounds like it looks terrible.

[violentluke]

no its not the best looking copy but looks better than the one thats at 150.00 buks..unless you rather have 3 missing pages and one a story page and rat chew on it

[faster friends]

Put them up as a "Buy it now" for $199 with a "make a best offer" option. I'll bet you get want you want in a few days.

trying to help so do not take it wrong >

you have a dozen pictures but most of them are really bad

I have to assume that you do not have a scanner

even with the pictures

download them to photobucket and

create a thumbnail link in the body of your listing

that way prospective buyers can view LARGE full screen images

[violentluke]

yea I dont have anything that takes good pics

[violentluke]

ill probably try the make offer idea

This option is a good one. The problem with most auctions that start high or have a reserve, is the common buyer does not feel that they might get the item for a deal. If you honestly feel that it could fetch what you want, let it ride. Most action on ebay takes place in the last hour. If you start something low, you'll attract more buyers/watchers.

 

That's the one thing that sucks about auctions. You're hoping that the right buyer or two, who realizes the value of said items, HAPPENS to be looking for said item, when you're trying to sell. You win some, you lose some

[violentluke]

I dont sell on ebay really ever so I dont have the well I got more than I wanted on these so a loss on this is ok..I put up 11 auctions this week and before that ive only sold 2 items..Im mainly a buyer

[comicalgems]

I'll give you 75.00 right now. Sorry thought I was in another forum there for a second.

 

Good luck with your auction. ;-)

I often see books pass unsold at a BIN price only to see them sell at auction for much more than the BIN price.

 

Strange days, indeed.

[comicalgems]

If it doesn't sell, do you mind if I come over and take a look at it?

[tth2]

Because many people never even look at BINs because the vast majority are insanely overpriced, so after a while they stop looking because the hope of finding one reasonably priced BIN is just not worth the effort anymore.
