John Mee – Some programmer in Sydney

No joy. I listed my item for 10 days and didn’t get a bid.

Just for comparison I’ve relisted the item exactly the same – words, photos, conditions, duration, pricing, everything onto ebay. Sold on day 3. Its a great relief to get a bid and know that it is gone, done, dusted.

My ebay ad for a graphics card.

In fact I’ve been amazed what I’ve been able to sell on ebay over the years. Just for a joke/experiment once I listed “metallic rubbish” – it was the case of desktop pc, nothing in it i don’t think, perhaps a dud motherboard. Someone bought it. The only time an item has not sold was when I put a ridiculous ‘buyitnow’ price on something I’d gone to a lot of trouble to import. I said if you want to pay this much then you can have it. There were quite a few watchers but no-one wanted it that badly.

Looks my $10 with oztion will be there for quite a while.
