Title: MY VITREX ADDAX IS UP FOR SALE ON EBAY
Post by: inacoma on November 10, 2007, 11:00:21 pm: HI EVERYONE

DECIDED TO LIST MY ADDAX ON EBAY :-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120182399881&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=002

IT'S IN NICE ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH JUST RECOMMISSIONING REQUIRED.

THE BUY IT NOW IS WHAT IT WORKED OUT COSTING ME.

I ALSO HAVE A CAR TRANSPORTER TRAILER FOR SALE AS I AM LOOKING FOR A SMALL TRAILER TO TRANSPORT JUST 1 CAR AT A TIME.

HOPE TO CONCENTRATE ON THE ACOMA BREAK READY FOR NEXT SEASON.

ALL THE BEST

JOHN

Thanks for the interest.

I had it at Â£799 and did't realise that the buy it now would dissapear with the first bid.

Have sold the car transportrer trailer on a buy it now already ( if funds arrive)

All the best

john

The nearest you can get is to set the start price just below the buy it now price.

You could list a fixed price item with a "best offer" option and state some acceptable guide price for serious offers within the listing.

Post by: witney44 on November 11, 2007, 06:11:44 pm: You can put a reserve price close to your buy it now price. So if you have a start of say .99p and a buy it now of Â£600, you put in a reserve of say Â£550. So if someone clicks on your buy it now of Â£600, it's theirs. If a bid of .99p is put on first then the buy it now option goes and then all the next bids have to climb above your reserve of Â£550 untill it is sold. So you can be Â£600 in pocket or Â£550 or if two idiots like I am sometimes want the item the bidding can go way above what you wanted!
But putting all the 'extras' on your listing costs. That is why I always put on a start price of what I am happy to get wether it's .99p or Â£45 or whatever. ;D
