Ebay – Round Two

My second round of eBay auctions is up.

Star Wars Vintage VHS

Star Wars Trilogy Remastered in THX

Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition VHS Gold Box

Star Wars Trilogy (2004, DVD)

As you can see, I wasn’t content with just selling the LD player and Star Wars LDs. I’m selling all theStar Wars movies that I own. I don’t watch them anymore and I could use the cash. :-)

My first round of eBay auctions went ok. I underestimated my shipping cost a bit, and the eBay fees took a huge chunk out of my earnings. Luckily I found I free service, Auctiva that really dropped my fees. Granted I got a few extra features the first time, like a bold listing and a subtitle, but my costs are down from 7 dollars to 40 cents.

Nothing has sold yet, but hopefully going the cheaper route will pay off.

    Welcome to the world of online auctions. Not only have you discovered that a little effort can make you extra cash online, but testing features and price comparing also help. An informed seller is just like an informed buyer; they know their prices (costs) ahead of time and it can make a big difference.
