A clue for the clueless

If you are going to use the Auction route to sell your item, do not list it with a reserve at or near the normal sales price. Hello...an auction means you will let the market decide. Sure, put a reserve on it, but that should be a low safety net price, not full value.

Man I see this often. Some clueless person lists their item for auction starting at $0. It gets tons of bids, but never gets past the reserve. Figure it out people. That's not an auction, now is it. If you want top dollar, list it as a regular classified and then wait 6 months for the perfect buyer. Sheesh!

Jax and Dick got it right. Sometimes I'm amazed at some listings where they use someone else's pictures or stock pictures. Also too how some sellers just use 1 picture or none at all is amazing to me. Pretty much every phone has a camera today that is quite good. A'gon also includes 3 or 4 pics at no charge. People should take advantage of that.

My other peeve are the one line descriptions. I'm not saying write a 15 page essay but some basic details would be enough.
