Why didn't this sell?
 

I put my jacket on ebay:

and it didn't sell. I thought £45 was reasonable.

Would welcome comments - overpriced? or what?

Everyone on ebay is fat??

Although ive noticed alot of items you would thing would sell at such a low price have not been bidded on.
Very few people are buying things atm.

Not a bad auction, pictures aren't bad, not great, but not terrible. Supersize pics with pics of all the wear areas like elbows and shoulders would be good to show no damage Text is a bit waffly, not a lawyer are you? :) The colour limits the market a lot, blue isn't the most popular, if it were black or grey I'm sure it would have gone.

The big thing is the title is a bit short, doesn't say motorcycle or bike or armoured or anything like that, people search for those things before brand name usually. You should be able to do a free edit and relist. Hope it goes next time for you.

I dont know areanlife. The add seems pretty normal and tells all about details and what not along with the photos.

Good point about the colour though i feel its not a fave among most people.

Re: Why didn't this sell?
 

Probably just the colour Ed.

Everything else looks fine.

Good honest advert there...

Are you sure your a solicitor?!

Blue ain't unfashionable... how many peeps on here have blue bikes.

I bought it last year off Kwak for £35 so I was being a bit cheeky with a small mark up. It was intended for my godson Fran but sadly I don't see him very often and so it's been sat in my wardrobe for the last 6 months without being worn.

I don't want to pay again, so although it's a bit big I've decided to keep it for myself.

I'd keep it. Looks fine to me. :cool:



..and lot's of peeps have blue jackets.

Re: Why didn't this sell?
 

Myself, I don't like the pattern, and I'm too weedy for it!

I think the starting bid puts off bargain hunters, but then again, this is the point.

Another tip, photograph it against a plain white or black background, and have lots of detail, preferably the ability to zoom.

Edit: I just re-looked and finally saw the detail pics, but point stands for other potential vendors!

A tad too dear compared to other stuff available.Remember its £10 more for the postage.

I been flogging some stuff on ebay and the CDi for a Honda SLR which is like rocking horse s*%t wasn't bid on at £40 even though all the breakers had them up for £100!! And things i paid little for they went mental on and paid well over what i paid for em new. Ebay is just weird!!
