Ebay Strategy Question?

[MattyB]

I listed a set of Project X shafts (new grips and all) on the NZ version of eBay, started $1 reserve hoping to gain interest. Ended it at 7.10pm Monday night...

Had 45 watchers... Waited for that all important bidding war.
SOLD!!!!
$3.50 for the lot! Lol. Guy felt bad picking them up, he paid with a $5 note and said to keep the change.

I look at what Global Golf (Golf Clubs, Golf Apparel, Golf Shoes & Discount Used Golf Clubs at GlobalGolf.com) gets for similar condition clubs. Then that would be my starting point. They have always had fair prices on good clubs and that's all I try to do.

All I understood from that was hookers and blow

I took a chance. Started it at $1 for ten days. By day 8 it had 14 bids with a top bid of $72. I withdrew it from auction to avoid the risk of a last minute bidding frenzy not arising. I will relist it. Big Jim was right. Better to do a buy it now and best offer arrangement.

How many different bidders? You had probably the best situation going unless it was just 2 guys.

That's a good bit of bids before the last 48 hours...which means lots of people are interested and odds are it was going to go wild in the last hour.

Noted.

There were only 4 bidders. One was a greenhorn who was nibbling away with small bids until he finally found the top bid price one of the others had lodged. Who knows, he may have thought he'd pick up a set of clubs for only $72.

I pulled it from sale Jim. I plan to relist as per your strategy. [emoji51]
