[QUOTE="Primm and Propper, post: 325079, member: 6442"]Nope... England is no better. I agree with above, click on advanced (alongside the search button at the top of the eBay page) and tick the sold box before performing your search again. This will give you results of prices actually recently paid instead of a full list that might include wishful thinkers. Have a look at the prices that have been paid for a similar item to the one you have and then consider the condition of your item in comparison. Price accordingly. I am not greedy and so usually will take an average from across the spectrum of prices. This ensures everyone gets a fair deal. Generally I will ignore auction prices as sometimes buyers have struck lucky and picked up a Rembrandt for 99p auction price but it doesn't mean that I will sell mine for that. Researching, cleaning, listing and shipping all takes time so make sure you factor that in to your price as well as all the fees you will have to pay to eBay and Paypal if you choose to sell that way. I have seen items in the UK sell on eBay for 99p with free shipping. That is quite astonishing when one considers that the cheapest small parcel delivery (which would be needed if something is packaged properly) in the UK costs £2.82. In short be realistic with your pricing, customers do not want their Royal Doulton figurine delivered in a cereal box stuffed with screwed up newspaper and if you were to send items out that way then be prepared to pay out a fortune in return parcel costs and refunds.[/QUOTE]
