I keep wasting money posting comp components on ebay and nobody bids on them. but when I post a graphics tablet or a wireless router or a mouse, they go crazy for it.

why?

i've sold video cards, CPU coolers, motherboards, & other stuff.

what i've found is that if you truly want to get rid of something
then just set the opening bid at 99 cents &
have the buyer pay shipping.

-or-

throw a bunch of stuff into one sale & do the same.

then, at least you get rid of it & get something out of it.

Yeah but were they soiled at the instant 3dfx was bought out by Nvidia?
