Q. Why should I sell on eBay as opposed to just having a garage sale?
A. eBay gives your item(s) national and international exposure. You'll benefit from millions of registered bidders worldwide (currently more than 58,000,000) and this number grows each and every week. With a garage sale, you are limited to a set price and your audience is limited to whoever might be in the neighborhood. Our neighborhood has tens of millions of interested buyers and you never know where those special buyers might be...but we'll find them!
Q. Why should I pay you to do what I can do myself?
A. There are many good reasons! First, we handle absolutely everything! All you have to do is gather the items you want to sell. We'll take it from there...we'll pick up the items for free, take photos, write the listing ad, and handle every aspect of the transaction. This saves you valuable time and is a much more convenient way to maximize your dollar value! Second, we pay all fees and already have the infrastructure in place to handle the transaction. Third, our feedback and reputation help boost overall bidding which results in a higher final price than people who go it alone!
Q. What kinds of items can I sell?
A. We will accept any item or set of items with an eBay market value of at least $50. It doesn't matter what you're trying to sell or how large or small the item might be. If there's a market for it, we'll find it! For some ideas on the kinds of items we can sell, check out the list on our home page.
Q. Why do you start your bidding at $1.00? My item is worth a lot more than that!
A. We have found, after thousands of successful auctions, that this strategic pricing gathers the most attention. With more attention comes more bids and with more bids comes more attention, and so on. It's a nice cycle that translates to a higher final dollar for you! A higher opening bid often stifles interest and we find that this ultimately lowers the ending bid price. This doesn't mean that your item will sell for $1.00, in fact, we have found that this price level creates a better environment for maximum bidding and attention!
Q. What sets you apart from the competition?
A. Aside from the convenience of our service, we also have the reputation and experience it takes to separate our listings from the pack. This means a higher level of bidder confidence and an ultimately higher final bid price. The proof is in our feedback! We have more than 5000 positive buyer feedback postings and a large repeat customer base that follows our auctions. Our auction format and attention to quality ensures top dollar for your items...and we don't charge extra for peace of mind!
Q. How much will my item sell for?
A. Without assessing the item, this is an impossible answer. To assist our customers and potential customers, we now offer a FREE eBay Market Analysis through which we'll determine the estimated value of your item on eBay. There is no obligation and we're happy to provide you with the insight! To get an estimated valuation of your item or items, please complete our Market Analysis form.
Q. What if my item doesn't sell?
A. If your item doesn't sell the first time, we'll relist it a second time at no additional cost to you! If unsold the second time then you will have the option to relist again. While relisting is always free, the minimum starting bid price would have to be lowered at least 25% for each additional relist. If an item remains unsold then it will be returned to you or donated to charity if you so desire.
