your favorite ebay buying experience?

[raceu4it]

Since e-bay is on everyone's mind, what 's your favorite, auction, buy it now, or best offer? And do you like a fixed shipping price or actual shipping price? Want to sell off a whole bunch of sled stuff as effectively as possible.

Buy it now is not an auction.....I do the auctions I don't think I will ever use the B.I.N unless I am desperate. Now as a seller if you have the only part on there B.I.N might be beneficial to get what you want to find the desperate guy

I bought a 350z convertible on eBay a few years ago and it was great. I used the "Buy it Now" option, but would have liked the "Make an Offer" option too. It was a great deal just the same.

I sold a windshield for $48 and it cost me $52 to mail it

if you can get your iten t the US to ship, you will save a ton. Canadian couriers are pricy.

I almost prefer buy it now as i don't have the attention span to wait until the end of an auction. Use both

My favorite ebay purchase was my 97 moomba I bought while drunk at 200am than after I won it, I looked where it was. So after driving to South Carolina and back I have a boat.(did it in six days by myself) Now I look a little closer before I bid. Boat turned out to be great which helped alot!

I prefer the buy it now on smaller stuff. I don't want to bid and then check back to see if I'm winning, if not do I bid again,....not worth the time on smaller stuff.

I prefer fixed price shipping as well...no surprises after I've committed to buying. Wrap the whole process up quick and get it in the mail.

I've picked up a couple of sweet vintage jackets this way....nice and bright with racing checks. If I'm riding with someone for the first time I pull one of these babies out to set the expectation bar nice and low.

shawn, i liked the auction style myself, start off $1 -$9 and let it roll, if it didn't sell scrap it, as to shipping prices i tried the honest route by having the potential buyer send me his address so i could get an accurate shipping price plus a couple bucks for handling, but it seems so time consuming. And since I'm taking good advice on focusing, I'm trying get my inventory down to match my hair count. Looking forward to riding alot more!:d

HaHa! Inventory must be damn near zero by the looks of your head. The retail business will do that to you. LMAO!:d:d
