Members Jables66 Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 I must admit I'm guilty of this... Most of the time I forget what I'm watching and come back to it months later to see how much it sold for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Salsage Posted October 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 Were a lot of the questions asking you to sell overseas and you won't? That would explain a lot of the questions..... 1 question about shipping to Germany. Other questions everything from Guitars weight to locking tuners to serial #s. case candy? jeez, All answered quickly and accurately. Did little good. I guess I am a little disapointed with all the Red Herring interest. Now I have 2 Ebayers emailing me trying to buy the guitar for $150.00 less than I had it listed for. Bah. I may relist IDK. How about I just hit the lottery tonight and have a givaway here:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mymindsok Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yes. For many of the reasons described above.Moaning sellers who are frustrated at large numbers of watchers with no bids just need to understand that this is the way that online auctions work. Same for questions with no bids. If you want to sell something, be prepared to answer questions. Actually, that's the way ALL auctions work! If you go to a public auction, you'll notice that the audience will be full of people, some dealers, some not, who are watching the bidding and the prices, while a few interested parties fight it out for each item up for bid. To tell the truth... If I'm really interested in an auction, I don't even bother to bid before the last 15 seconds. The seller will never even know I've been there untill I've won.

How about I just hit the lottery tonight and have a givaway here:lol: I don't think I've ever had a person that sent me a question win one of my auctions. Of course there are the occasional idiots that win, THEN start asking all kinds of questions, but that's a whole other topic... You can always relist once for free (assuming it sells the second time), so you've got nothing to lose by relisting. I had an auction end last week with no bids (50+ watchers) and I relisted it right away with the same starting bid. Right now it has 2 bids and doesn't end for several hours. You just never know when something will have interest and when it won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 Watch? Yes, generally to see how much people wind up paying or, if it's a Power Seller, to buy eventually when they either lower the price or have a special. Ask endless questions about with zero intent of purchase? No, and that's the practice that pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ComOp Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 I watch items I like, if the item is over priced I wait for the seller to lower the price. Also, I won't bid on any auction with a reserve. I may watch it though until it reaches the point it goes above the reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
