Anyone ever Sold anything with HALF.COM

[locutus4]

I put up my sony cdx-ca650x cd player on their site and i stated to ask mysellf, how long is this gonna take? I mean theres no hit counter to even see if someone is looking at it, thers no time limit or anything, it just sits ther with the other 5 cd players just like it and i wonder if this thing will ever work.
Anyone had experience? How long did it take to sell, if it sold, and how many were you competeing against?

i've sold dvds on there and have gotten pretty speedy replies for purchase (longest was overnight).

I sold a few books there before. some of them were college textbooks and others were different books. The college books sold in about a week to 2 weeks. The other ones sold like 1 to 2 months later


edit: you should sell those on ebay

Ebayers pay top dollar, believe me.

Is there a way to view past auctions/listings on half.com?

I've bought some cds/dvds on there, but never sold anything. I've had good experiences buying stuff, though.

well i dunno, i hate waiting i never know if it will sell. Ebay is currently flooded with these cause of some goofball that has like 10 posted every day and the price is about $20 -30 lower so i'll give it another week.

I've saved enough money by buying used textbooks trough half.com that I can buy a DC with the amount I've saved. Granted, I've only bought like 2-3 books but money is money. I also sold a book for half thr price that I bought it for (bought for $90, sold for $45-$6 half.com commision-$6 shipping ), but it's better han selling the book to my shool's bookstore for like $20.

The biggest problem I encountered with half.com is how they handle eturning orders. I bought a textbook but failed to realize the edition number scenario. The seller didn't have the dition number in his description and I bought it, not even taking into account that important info. I had no luck trying to find the guy's e-mail address (wasn't his fault, but half.com's). I had no direct way to contact the seller to return my book so I ended up keeping it. Didn't really matter anyhow, since I dropped the class because of the arrogant and lazy professor a month after that.

Anyone else???

I currently have about 50 books listed at Half.com and sell about two a week. I've only listed one electronics item, and it sold within a week of my listing it because I put my price below the other ones listed (wanted to get rid of it fast).

I like Half.com for books better than eBay because it's a pain to list stuff that sells for under $5 anyway.

Never sold anything, but bought once... took forever and the price was pretty lame. Now I'm not using it again
