Default Ebay & "The Market"

anything you see sitting at a flea market late in the day, was most
likely already tried on ebay, and didn't reach reserve, or got no bids.


.... that could be 79% of your stuff..

sometimes you'll see stuff at flea markets that seems valuable, and
underpriced, and no one is biting


.... that could be 79% of your stuff ...

that's cuz the marketeers already know, that particular item is
hammered on ebay, too many listed, and the price is down- so they are
cutting their losses and just dumping it


.... that could be, yes, you guessed it 79% of your stuff

marketeers will tell you, they'd rather sell it cheaper at the show,
than for slightly more on ebay- because of ebay and paypal fees, and
packaging work involved-


.... but reviewing your ebay sales verses your not sold items
maybe you should be a 'marketer' ...

nitpicking assholes like DeserTBob on
EBay, who want gold for a penny and free shipping


.... I'll give you a penny for all your 8 tracks for free shipping!!
