<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 374840, member: 308&quot;]Well, that&#039;s the key.&nbsp; If you liked them more than that you were offered then you were right to pass.&nbsp; I&#039;m always reluctant to give values because so many factors can go into an evaluation.&nbsp; I tend to sell relatively inexpensively priced glass, pottery, and china.&nbsp; I sell 95% on ebay and 5% mall.&nbsp; I research every item I sell and if I have to price it under what others are selling to get it to move I do.&nbsp; Even if I paid $50 for an item (rare for me) and find out that they same item only sells for $30 then I have to price it under $30 and swallow the loss to be able to sell it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Important to note that I do not depend on eBay for any substantial part of my income.&nbsp; In a case where I can&#039;t find any sales and I paid $50 I might try $99 at auction.&nbsp; I always run items at auction a couple of times first in case there is a market for it and $99 is too cheap.&nbsp; If it does not sell at auction I&#039;ll list it as for $99 on a Buy It Now knowing I can lower the Buy It Now price if it doesn&#039;t sell.&nbsp; Not a perfect system by any means but it works for okay for me.&nbsp; But right now I am hopelessly overstocked so I&#039;ll need to decide soon whether to drastically reduce some items or pull them from eBay entirely and donate them or run them through a local auction house.&nbsp; I could put them in the mall but if they don&#039;t sell on-line they usually won&#039;t sell much better at the mall.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got to tell you, though, that eBay sales are not going well right now.&nbsp; Even views are down, let alone bids.&nbsp; And items are not fetching much at local auctions either.&nbsp; If you decide to get into sales do it because you enjoy it - not to make money.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
