Selling On eBay Is Hard Work!

[J. Steffen]

I used to sell Motorcycle parts on eBay but I gave up. Too many stupid people. I could write "This part will only fit on a 1977 Flipper Fletch 2000", and within an hour a get a half a dozon emails asking me if it will fill a 1978. That and the yard sale mentality. I could have a brand new part that retails at $300.00, list it for $100.00 and I would still get emails asking me if I would end the auction if they gave me $50.00 for it...

Yeah, but you have to remember that a majority of the human population is still wading around in the shallow end of the gene pool. Unfotunately most of those also have internet access.

Well put:thumb: However, I must say that ebay buying trends are confusing to follow sometimes.

Hehehe, yeah no kidding one day something i listed sells for 75$ i list the same item the next day it sells for 5. Go figure.

Would a more formal classified ad section added to this community help?

I think there are quite a few people who've asked for that kind of stuff already and they've been referred to the buy/sale/trade forum.

You got my vote Peter!!

If i can buy from here instead of feebay i would. I buy when Combat offers and troll the buy/sell/trade forum whenever there is a new post. I would MUCH prefer a classified here than feebay .
