Title: Do you sell piece by piece or as a lot?
Post by: rulesforrebels on February 08, 2011, 07:00:04 PM: I guess it probably depends on the item but what are your thoughts?

Do you like selling things piece by piece or as a lot?

I just finished listing some DVD's I found, doing them as a lot rather than piece by piece. Sure you normally make a little extra on shipping so piece by piece may reap a lil extra money but then you also got titles that wont sell where if mixed in as a lot people wont mind one crappy movie or one bad piece of clothing.

1) by the piece
2) by the lot

based on:

It depends

I had a bunch of nice womens clothes recently. Did one round piece by piece most of the good stuff sold, selling whats left as a lot.

That's often my strategy, piece by piece on ebay what doesn't go after a week long auction all gets tossed into a "lot" auction.

Post by: rulesforrebels on February 08, 2011, 07:37:16 PM: Yeah maybe should have taken them out of the wrappers. Got them in a locker. Was going to be a good good guy and return them but saw the post marks on the envelopes and Netflix had probably already charged the people for those movies like a year previous.

Ebay free insertion fee ended at midnight last night so was scurrying and so threw up a bunch of blank auctions just to meet the deadline to get the free listings., gotta take pics and write descriptions tonight.
