today. I started the bid relatively low and got this price for it, but if I had advertised it as a buy it now for £75.00 or more it would not have sold. I have seen many of these same bags on a buy it now for £75, £90 and £100 which have not sold, yet, I got over £100 for mine. I am not complaining by the way.
I just do not understand the logic that people want a good deal and therefore want to see the bidding starting low as they feel they will be in with a chance of getting the bag for £10 or something.The reason this logic does not follow for me is that on Ebay there has nto been a single authentic Anya Hindmarch bag [USA version] which has sold for a really low price over the past week ... therefore it is improbable that even if people bid with a low starting price,that the ultimate price will still be low by the time the auction ends....

Tell me about it - there is no amount of junk that I have sold, which quite frankly should have been in the bin, but people have paid handsomely for it. The thing that springs to mind is a childs game which I bought for £3 in ELC which my kids used and used and I started the bidding at 1p just to get rid of it, Someone bought it for £12!!! The laughable thing was, they still sold them on the ELC website for £3

There was a time when I loved eBay - I bought all sorts of PC kit at dirt cheap prices = it was a buyers market.
Now too many fools with too much money (aka 'Americans' **) have signed up = no matter what the item is really worth, there is always some fool ready to be parted from a little bit more money = it's become a sellers market.
** Some of these fools have no idea that ££ <> $$$ .. they bid £10 and then leave Negative Feedback when PayPal makes them to pay $20 ....

Yup, i got mine for £5.00 plus the free book on genuine website 2 months before they appeared in Sainsbury's.
Thought id sell it and see how far the bidding would go in 3 days......IT SOLD for £85 on the 'buy-it-now' price i also added, less than 12 hours of it even being on eBay.
Joke? ...no, dammit, she paid me straightaway!!
No, i wasn't complaining either after that...

If you've got two or more people that really want an item, then the sky's the limit!
