Ebay, what to expect?

Question

A friend has offered to put some of my stuff on ebay as they sell their things all the time whereas I wouldn't know where to start!
I don't know whether it'll be worth it, can anyone give me an idea of what to expect price wise?
LONG BLACK LEATHER COAT (beautiful condition, worn once, 400 euros new). VALENTINO HEELS (beautiful condition, worn once with original box, 200 euros new).
Only serious comments please! Thanks.

Answer 1

I would start the Valentino Heels at $49.99 and expect between $70-150


The leather jacket I would do a fixed price at what you want for it.

You can do a general search on eBay and then choose the Completed Listings option in Advanced Search to get a list of items that have ended and the final price.



There are several things you have to take into consideration

If you just want to sell the items then start the auction low and let it run.

You can set a higher start price @ what you expect to get or do a Fixed price sale and ask for how much you want.

Answer 2

Start bidding at 10% of the value and set a reserve at what you feel you must get for them. Coat @ 200, Shoes @ 100 ?

Answer 3

I`m not sure about what % they keep, but I would list them with a reserve price of the least $$$ you are willing to part with them for, so if the bids are all low you don`t lose any $$$$....

Answer 4

well ebay starts off as like a bidding type of thing, so you should probably start it up at like 50 or 75 dollars and hope people bid on it.

Answer 5

you could sell them on ebay and put a reserve price on them so that they don't sell for less than there worth

Answer 6

you can expect anything on eBay! its the pricing, some people can be serious about that.
