ataridog Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 300532705646 I had the ad listed for 7 days and after 5 all I have is a little over 100 views and only 16 watchers. I thought I described it pretty good with a great starting bid. Is it the economy? Are the 130's all of a sudden worthless? What am I doing wrong?

Rybags Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 For whatever reason, people don't seem to go near items with starting bids until right near the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might bid on it, if you didn't have US only :-( I only have 1050 with DTI Duplicator and one with US Doubler. Would be nice to have a Happy enhanced one too.

doctorclu Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I agree on the starting bid comment. Usually you have to start small, get people swept in. Bidding battles bring big bucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping would probably cost more than your winning bid, plus i'd have to pack everything with 10 lbs of bubble wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bf2k+ Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Personally I never bid on anything with a starting price that high - just my $.02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Its a good price at the starting bid for all the goodies - prob better to start at $10 with a reserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 You should have split it up. Some people just want a computer. Some just want the drives. Some just want the disks. You probably would make more money that way too. Some people might only have $50 to spend or something like that. Yes it's easier to have it all in one auction but you're going to have more success separating them. More work but more money. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's easier to have it all in one auction but you're going to have more success separating them. More work but more money. Allan Agreed. 130XEs and drives sell all the time. Big lots - which most people don't need, and with big shipping - is limited to a narrow band of customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'm a big lot buyer, and I with the cost of shipping factored in I would bid $75.00 on this... Low? Maybe, but you really do have a better chance selling this seperately... that said, it is a fair price and I'm sure someone is going to snap it up, I just don't know if it will go as high as if you started at a lower price.

Kjmann Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I also Agree with Allan. you should split it all up into separate auctions. you will make better money that way. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kool kitty89 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 You should have split it up. Some people just want a computer. Some just want the drives. Some just want the disks. Not to mention those who'd want the non working 130 at a lower price to use for parts or to try and repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ataridog Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yep!.....Practically gave it away. $152 winning bid. <swallowing slight amount of vomit> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yep!.....Practically gave it away. $152 winning bid. <swallowing slight amount of vomit> Well a number of people suggested splitting it into lots, if you had your take would have been higher.
