<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 4558407, member: 36"]I'm a soon to be former eBay dealer. To sell locally, check sold prices not current listings, and price at half or under. Preferably under.

People buying for themselves won't pay high at a tag sale or estate sale either. (it doesn't matter if "it's worth $100". It'll sell for $25 if that's all the audience thinks it's worth.) If you're selling it online yourself, price where you can afford to pay all the fees and taxes, and still make a decent wage for the work involved. If the Sold prices don't justify your estimated sale price, don't sell it on eBay. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another rule is: don't sell anything on eBay you can't afford to give away.
