eBay sUrvey, tOday -hOoray

I sold an entire coin collection, piece by piece, and never had one problem.

Purchases have all worked out too.

My only regret is in not getting enough for items sold. One, an excellent ring I thought would surely fetch $100, went for about $30. Another time, I didn't realize that the shipping was going to be double what I figured. But these were my mistakes.

My only regret was that I bought a car radio from an ignorant person who didn't know that the theft deterrent had been set, and that when the radio was disconnected from the power source it became a paperweight. He didn't know the code. I had to ship the dead radio back to him at my expense. He even had the gall to imply that I might be keeping his radio and sending back my own dud, and he wanted me to take his dead radio to a dealer to have them turn it back on. (Which they won't do.) He only took the radio back when I pointed out that I still hadn't left feedback for him and that it wouldn't be positive if he refused to refund my purchase.

I bought another radio, but this time from a bigger seller who had lots of radios to sell. And who charged a significantly bigger price, although still less than the outrageous local dealer price .

I have been buying only. Only low cost items, a dozen or so in total. As far as I remember paperbacks + vinyls from the UK, Germany, Australia & Canada sums it about up.
Since my record collection of my favourite band is now complete, I haven't seriously considered bidding for anything for the past two years. Not been to the website for more than 6 months.

After my uncle died, my aunt asked my brother to sell a Model T Ford. He put a $150 color picture ad, asking $500 in Hemmings Classifieds, which is the car collector's number one source. Waited for two months, and not one nibble. Put it on ebay, and got $1,000, with a furious bidding war at the end.
