Hi There,
Can anybody help me as I am selling my Virus TI desktop on Ebay and don't really know what I should ask for it.
It's in immaculate condition, hardly used, smoke free area, bedroom use(no studio). Boxed with all cables, extra sounds, etc...Purchased May 2005.
Please come up with sensible prices for me and also how do you think I should send it (special delivery?). £20/£30/£35 P+P?.
Any help would be great. Please also list your prices in UK Pounds only
Thanks in advance

Cheers Eldritch for the reply. That much, I was thinking of around £800 |

I don't think anyone will buy it at that price.
Try something around £700 - £800. If you're not in a hurry, then start from the higher end of course. About sending, I would have a chat with the buyer about it after the bid is over. Just remember to mention in the add that buyer pays the sending fees (in a way or another). |

| Yeah, £700-£800 seems more right when I think about it. I suck at math. :D |

| At times like this searching the completed listings is the way to go. |

| Do it as an auction. Start really really low, no reserve. People will bid it up to its true value. You'll get loads more interest and pay smaller ebay fees. |

| G-Con`s idea isn`t the smartest, if you start low and it stays low, you have to sell it for that price. |

Nope. You set a reserve of say £750.00 you list the item for auction at 0.01 pence. This means you pay a very small listing fee to ebay. If the auction does not exceed the reserve price then it simply doesn't sell. A person has to place a bid above the reserve for the item to sell.
When you bid on an item with a reserve, the auction listing will tell you when the reserve is met.
What will often happen is that you will get people bidding up to the reserve. Then when they find the reserve price they decide whether its a good deal. Then mostly the auction stays dead up until about 5 minutes before the end where there will be a torrent of bids (snipers trying to get the last bid on an item that is still way less than RRP).
G-Con's idea is used by pretty much everyone selling expensive items. Its to get the list fee down.
For internet security reasons I would probably recommend going through Escrow or something since eBay is just full of scammers and time wasters. |

You can ask a friend to give a bid on that article if you dont like the price. or you bid by yourself with a second account. |

No dont do this. This is called Shill bidding and is bannable if you are found out. It is also completely lame and used by the scum of internet auctions to price hike their own items. |
