pet, maybe you want to relist at a higher price? One discussion mentioned as to something being too low priced not appealing to those it might simply because it seemed 'too cheap' or 'too good to be true'.

Something to think about maybe?

Well, I would love the profit, but...wouldn't someone just do some research and find it at a comparable (albeit "higher" because of 'shipping & handling') and just pass on it because it IS a higher price?

Or...maybe they would think it's a REAL SOUGHT-AFTER item? Hmmmm...Well, I can try it.

12 plus million items on ebay and only a limited number of buyers makes this scenario a very common one.

Pet, I dont think a whole lot of people do research before they buy. Some do and study things quite a bit, but the majority of buys are impulse buys. JMO, especially on ebay bidding!

Don't let this get you down. I once listed a Lear Jet & had 8900 hits & no bids!!

You've only had it listed 6 hours, give it time.

Well, I revised the item..Set it to $9.99 opening bid and no BIN. Argh. Forgot to remove the bit about free shipping...just realized. OOps. Oh well...

Have you noticed the http://www.medved.net/cgi-bin/cal.exe?EIND link now has an ebay sell-through set of charts, either overall ebay sales or selected category. Interesting charts.
