i want to sell somthing on ebay, i want at least £10 for it so is it best to start at £9.99 or start at 99p with £10 reserve? (will it cost the same to advertise them)

The reserve option starts at £50 onwards, can't do any reserves on auctions less than that.

you'll get more for it if you set a low start price and no reserve. people get carried away once they have a bid in, and often bid more than they would normally be prepared to pay.

As an example, last week there was a hardly used alpine stars leather jacket in i was interested in. It had a reserve of £100 and nobody bid on it. The guy re-listed it with no reserve and in the last hr before it finished it went from £35 to £170!!

Start at 99p, get your mate to bid £10 towards the end if it hasn't reached that far.

And your penance was that you had to pay all the fees for selling it too :laughat:

Just stick it on for £10, if it sells it sells, if it doesn't then it doesn't ... for a tenner is it really worth wasting much energy thinking about?!!? :roll: :D

Dude if you are not prepared to take less than a tenner for it then it either will or won't sell for that ... end of ...

If you are happy to take what you can get then go 99p and take the risk.

You are aware you are not allowed to sell part of your Scandinavian p0rn collection on eBay right??!!!? :lol:
