Can't beat that. It'll actually be 2-0-0 in a day or so. Just started trading so it will have to build but my heat is finally getting there.

80 positives, 3 neutrals. Two neutrals came from ebay, once when I changed my e-mail address, and they used to convert positive feedback from members that unregistered to neutral. They don't do that anymore though. And the last neutral was from someone that didn't understand the concept of a reserve price auction.

Damn free market system. Who do those people think they are anyway?

That's not my point. If I get beat in price by a dealer or something, so be it. What blows is when the Ebay newbs that don't have a clue what the hell they are doing start something out at a penny when the market is already flooded with the same item. These people are most likely AT'ers too because a lot of the stuff that I see them selling is right off of the Hot Deals forums (missing upc and all).

Anyway.. When the market is flooded, you're not going to get a good price starting it at a penny. That loser ends up losing money and in the process drives the market price down for the rest of us sellers. Why would someone want to pay $55 for something when someone just paid $40 for the same item? It probably cost that seller $40 for the item in the first place and after Ebay and PayPal fee's, they are probably $5-$10 in the hole.

Sorry for the off topic post.

Get over it!

I start ALL of my auctions at $9.99 REGARDLESS of cost. You want to know why? LISTING FEES. I try to maximize my profit and dispense with the reserve price auction fees. I also place Buy It Now prices (hey, it's only 5 cents) when I have a general idea for what the going price is.

My auctions almost always end at around the price I was expecting to get and more than often it's actually A LOT higher than I was expecting. If an item is going to sell for $120, I see no use in starting the auction at $100 or even $49. Why should I waste money on listing fees when it is EVENTUALLY going to get up to that $120 price anyway. I set the price at $9.99 and don't worry about it; just let the auction run its course. The only people it matters to are for sellers that like to sit around and watch people bid on their items.

Low starting prices rarely effect the outcome of an auction from my experience...however HIGH starting prices do. People get into the false sense of thinking they're getting something for a good deal by bidding low at first and then working their way up. By the time they get close to the price that I've settled on in my head (which is usually how much they are willing to pay), they start fighting to outbid each other regardless of cost. However, I found from past experience that folks won't bid on an item that starts off close to a seller's asking price. The buyers think that they can get a better deal by going with the items with the lower starting price and they almost always end up paying MORE in the end.

Yeah.. Right.. Whatever.. I noticed that you sold a Logitech Elite Duo desktop. I also see that you got $51 for it. I paid the $2.20 insertion fee, plus the BIN .05¢ fee (I don't use reserves), but got around $70 for mine (same price for both of them that I sold). If your auctions weren't around, I wouldn't have had to insert it a higher price and pay the insertion fees in the first place because you helped drive the price down on this item by starting it low and letting it go.

Now.. This isn't an item where you lost money. You just got less than you should've for it. The market probably wasn't flooded with them like some of the hard drive deals that we get on AT Hot Deals forum. Of course, we had all those junk refurbeded Logitech units from wonderful places like Just Deals clogging up the Ebay and had to differentiate between "plain packaged" refurubished and retail. Some bozo's out there are hardly breaking even, if not losing money after final value fees and PayPal fees. Those are probably the same guys that gave up on Ebay because it wasn't worth their effort.

My point is that you should do a little research. If the market is flooded with this particular item, odds are you aren't going to get what you should for your auction if you start it for less than $10. You'd be better off paying a few bucks in insertion fee's and starting your auction around the price that you want to get for it. Use the search function on Ebay's completed items before you list something. A good indicator is when someone is getting $40 for the same item that someone else is getting $70 for. You might get $70 and you might get $40. If you do get $40, why are other buyers going to pay $70 for mine? That's what my gripe is about.

Heh.. Let me guess what happens when you start something at $10 and then waste your .05¢ for a BIN fee. Someone comes along and bids the $10 to wipe out your Buy it now fee.

2-0-0. I never sell on ebay. When I do buy stuff, even though I ask no one leaves me positive feedback. So from now on, I'm not gonna give them positive unless they give me.
