Question on Old Coral Necklace

<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 1059721, member: 5398"]I posted photos of this coral necklace a few months ago and received a lot of helpful information. I was planning to hang onto it for a while, but then got a special promotion from eBay that capped final value fees at $10 for 5 items that sold over $100. So I decided to list the necklace in a 10-day auction starting at $395.00 -- it had 14 watchers, but no bids. Today eBay sent me the same promotion so I’m considering relisting it, but I’m wondering if anyone who’s knowledgeable about coral and sells/buys on eBay has advice on the following questions:</p><p>1. Did I price it too high at $395?</p><p>2. Should I change from auction to Buy-it-Now?</p><p>3. Do I need to tweek the title ---- “Antique 54" 88 Grams Natural Salmon Coral Bead Necklace Sterling/12k Gold Clasp.”</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m in the USA and don’t ship internationally, so maybe that’s why it didn’t sell at $395 even though 14 people were watching. A similar necklace that weighed 126 grams (located in Ukraine), sold for $850-$900 in a BIN listing. Any advice would be appreciated.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]208945[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]208946[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
