    Default I need some advice.

    I have a lot of things that I need to sell and obviously looking to make as much money as possible. I have a mixture of things that I know will sell and some stuff I don't I guess what I'm asking is. Is it worth putting stuff that won't sell on here compared to stuff that I know will sell? Cheers Steve

    eBid is different - good items, underpriced, can hide here and not sell but, the advantage of listing here is that you can list things you don't expect to sell, set them to autorelist and wait at no cost

    As you have signed up for seller+, you are serious so you need to read astral's page

    several of Kimbo's lenses on squidoo

    and generally browse around the forums here for good advice.

    Everything will appeal to someone somewhere at sometime. If you are seller+ it costs nothing to list so just stick them on and you never know

    You never know what will & wont sell, some of the things you say wont sell may end up selling as some people may find use of the items you think may not sell

    Some people have said that things they know would sell elsewhere doesn't sell here. I can't comment on that. What I do know is that a lot of things don't sell as quickly. Also it is not often that you get a bidding war. So either set a buy now price or start an auction with the minimum price you are willing to sell for and not a silly starting bid like 1p. And you need patience

    My theory is that you can list as many things as possible to the point that storing them in your house or place of business becomes too much. I have had things listed for years. Once in a while somebody buys something I had forgotten I possess, and it's a little panic to find it, so lately I'm jettisoning items to Goodwill. But many of us aren't mindreaders and it's somewhat fun to see just what among our offerings sell. The more you list, the higher your chances of selling. It's simply a matter of mass or mass of matter.

    And my theory is simple….if you’re NOT in hurry or NOT invested large amount of the money in yours items…well…in that case….list as many you can…..and have good time…someone always will stop and buy something….
    Good luck………....

    Whether one is in a hurry or not to sell, eBid is still a great place to list items for very little outlay. If one has invested a large amount of money in buying stock then they will have the acumen not to put all their eggs into one basket.
