<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 384297, member: 5515&quot;]I deal with this issue of valuation of an item from time to time. I typically take one of three different approaches:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Option one is to list the item on ebay &quot;buy it now&quot; with a price higher than you think it is actually worth. Once a week, step the price down a little bit and definitely pay attention to how many views you are getting.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Option two is to list the item on ebay auction with a starting price where you think the fair value might be. In your example, you thought it might be worth $330, but perhaps much more. Listing at that price at auction, you might just get a few collectors going into a bidding war, revealing the true value (and selling it).</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Option three is to list the item on ebay auction at 99 cents. Now this might sound crazy, but I only do this with certain items. In order for me to list an auction at this price, I have to feel confident in two qualities: the item has to be in high demand (lots of collectors) and low supply (not many other options out there).</p><p><br /></p><p>One final note, there&#039;s some interesting research that suggests that the most profitable time to end an auction is around 4-7pm on a Sunday. It makes sense actually, the bidders are likely to be at home, available to bid and the whole weekend to get a few extra views. Best of luck and I hope my advice helps you in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
