HI all,

I have screwed UP!!

Had two items on eBay that sold.
I had been VERY careful about my Shipping Policies - but MESSED UP on this one!!
I always say USA ONLY!

Well, guess what - someone from Finland purchased both items - Straight Razor & Shaving Strop
USPS costs - $60 
TOTAL SALE INCLUDING SHIPPING: $33
I am inclined to deny the sale, explain and hope for the best.
If I take a Neg Rating - I guess I take a Neg =-- First EVER!
BUT.....
Thoughts
Have to decide right away!

Today, I Went to a "yard sale" with my wife of one of her friends.

The sale is this Friday and Saturday. When we got there I asked her friend what she would take for everything?

She quoted me 3$50
My wife had picked out around $90 worth of stuff that she wanted already.
I offered $285 and they took it.
If it had not been a friend of my wife, I would have offered 150 and worked up from there.

I saw $300-$400 in quick sales and then the remainder of the stuff.

Anybody else try this and/or have Success?

I found a box of Better Homes and Gardens "WOOD" magazine in my pile.
Ever have any luck with selling this type?

Just an FYI
Ebay is offering 500 Free Listings (listing Fee) UNTIL Tuesday 9/4

Get the fingers flying and List

Hi All -

Just went to eBay and listed a few items. 
I have not done this in probably 4 years and was surprised by what I found --- Is it typical?

Everything I posted was FREE.
I paid NO Fees of any kind.

Is it possible I was lucky and I hit a special going on?

My son and I made our first trip out today.  An area storage that had 4 units for sale.

I went with the intent of buying one if it interested me and could buy it.

1st one - 20 x 30 - Mgr said had been there since 2002.  Looked more like 1982 and not touched since.  Avocado Green Fridge and Stove.  Busted up furniture, wood panneling, NOTHING interesting to me.

Told my boy we weren't interested even at $20.

Auctioneer tried to open bid at $600.
$500, $400 .... Some guy yelled   "2"
Well, I thought the auctioneer was kidding when he said "OK, $200.00!"
I REALLY thought the guy meant $2.00.

Nope went for $360   

#2 - a little tiny one, w/ OLD microwave, Small cheap kitchen table, etc. - $360

#3 - HUGE locker - but not much in it - Mgr said it was a "Repair Man's Locker"  very few tools, just the broken down, unfinished projects from the 'repair man' and an older water heater.  $450

#4   12x16 - they opened the doors - can't even remember what was in it - when they got a $200 bid, we and most everybody headed for their cars.  Heard it end at $360.

All in all, not impressed.  Will try again.

I have read about 173 different threads and have not seen this addressed.

Does anyone pick the good stuff and then just deliver the rest to an area Auction house / Barn to move quickly?
