Annoyingly, it didn’t sell Sad smile My first attempt at selling something other than a car was a fail. Am relisting and trying a different marketing ploy but, what the hell do I know?!

The bottom line is, this is a phone which, with a little shopping around, someone could get for about £70-80. We started it at £90 with a ‘Buy it now’ of £120. Well, that figure can stay, I don’t think it makes much difference. But, what I have done is lowered the start price to £65. With that, someone is getting it market value even including the P&P so, if they’ve done the homework, they’ll know it’s an OK deal. Sean thinks he can sell it locally for around £50-60 so, anything more than that is a bonus. In short, I now believe it is priced realistically and, on a good day with a following wind, it could still make that £120 figure simply because we have seen the same phone go for more.

Listing is finished Saturday eve, we’ll see what happens. BTW, should anyone be tempted to look, please don’t add it to a watch list, it screws up what I am looking at!

Crunch time …

Yes, today is the day when Sean’s phone either sells or doesn’t. Last night there were 6 people watching it, this morning down to 5. I never really expected anyone to place a bid until at the earliest, an hour before the end time, around 9pm. Even so, all this waiting is … grrr!

All I have sold previously is a car, true, a big thing to start with but, I am not an ebay regular so I don’t really understand the rules. Selling this phone would be amazing not because of the money but that I actually managed to sell something!

Immy & Josh both fed and watered, shopping done, dishwasher emptied and put away, made breakfast for me n Deej and only just gone 10am!

Best get back to it, Deej has been with both of them for 5 minutes now!
