How much would you sell a big Grease memorabilia lot on ebay for?

Question

Includes model cars, collectibles such as lunch box, mug, shot glasses etc. never worn tshirts and jackets, dolls, etc.

Answer 1

look around on ebay first to see similar items, and their prices and price your accordingly.

theres no point putting it on for $5000 if someone else has the same thing for $0.99. try waiting for the listing or auction to end, then post it at your price.

Answer 2

Okay, first, you want to start LOW. Part of Ebay's fee is based on your starting price, so if you start out asking for $100, you're gonna lose more in fees than if you start out asking for $20 or less. I notice a lot of things start at a buck- they get a few watchers, then a few small bids and a lot more watchers, then the day they're due to sell, the price skyrockets. I can't garauntee this for you, of course, but it's what I most often see. On the other hand, a person who will, in the excitement of possibly 'winning' and the frustration of being outbid, willingly end up paying $500, might not be willing to start bidding that high.

So, start low. But if you can't afford for it to go under a certain price, you'll want to make sure that you either use a reserve (for which Ebay adds to its fee), start closer to your must-have amount, or else not feel like a jerk for canceling the auction at the last moment if necessary.

I wonder if you'd do better splitting it into a few smaller lots? For myself personally, if Grease was a movie I was interested in collecting memorabilia from, I would want some of those things and not others. Perhaps there are other people who feel the same- you might try putting lunch box, dolls and cars in a lot, mug and shot glasses in another, and, if there are multiple t-shirts and jackets in different sizes, selling them in pairs- one shirt and one jacket- so that if a person chose to wear rather than display, they could get both in a suitable size.

The number that flashes in my head repeatedly (as final selling price) is $500, but of course I don't know the actual value of what you're selling or the total amount of items.

Last point: make sure your bidding is ending on a day and at a time when people are home to bid- say Saturday evening. I have bought things on Ebay, watching it closely for the last 30 minutes- and I have bid on things on Ebay, been at work when they closed, and lost them. My bid would have been one more.....and maybe other bidders who would've raised the final selling price were at work too.

Answer 3

I am not positive on what you can get for that. But, I think that you would be better off selling things seperately. Because, I personally would pay $100 for a car, but I probably would not buy the t-shirts.
