:iagree:

However, on eBay, I almost always list with a 99p starting price.

Just do what everyone else does on ebay, start it listing at 99p and then state very large and clear NO RESERVE, then get a mate to bid to the minimum that you would sell it for ie £100, then it looks like because you have no reserve on the item people will think they are getting a good deal and dont spend the next seven days wonderig what your reserve is.

I would agree with selling it on here if possible, the guys on this Forum will give you a ball park figure to look at making and if sold through here you won't pay EBAY fees!

Payment on collection is the best option if the buyer lives close enough then there's no PayPal fees either!

erm isn't that basically shill bidding which is tantamount to fraud?

Not that I'm the fun police or anything but I would never do that, just put a reserve on it, or a starting price that you would sell at, or do a buy it now or best offer with buy it now being what you would really like for it.

Personally I would split the items, more work but much more likely to get a higher total, the dx6 will work with anything, if you lump it together with the model it isn't so attractive.

Stealing and murder in the world? **ck me! I'd better join in. Other people do it.

I've often wondered what do sellers do when a shill bid backfires and is left as the highest bid?
If the transaction doesn't go through then eBay are going to spot it pretty quick aren't they?
After all they'd be losing their commission.

Some guy up north was recently imprisoned for fraud when he got caught on multiple auctions shill bidding.

That aside, I would never do that on ebay, I generally put the auction with a start price of 99p a buy it now for around what I want and a reserve for the minimum I would take and put it as a 10 day auction. 90% of the time if you have priced it right it will sell as buy it now within a few days.

i would agree try and sell it on here, but i have just sold a dx6i on ebay, with 99p start and no reserve, it sold for 73 quid, you can get them new for around 75 to 80, so sometimes, you do make more cash on ebay, it just comes at more of a risk

list it so auctions ends on days like tuesday and Wednesdays between 7pm and 8pm.
those are good days when folks are at home after work.
