Macko1968 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 It seems the correct approach to pricing your bass on eBay these days is to ignore the recession & crank that price to the max. Drop your vastly overpriced links off here folks!

Annoying Twit Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 £100 less than last time it was listed. But even so, still hundreds to go before it's fairly priced.

Annoying Twit Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 [quote name='Johnston' post='1130084' date='Feb 16 2011, 07:17 PM']I've noticed another trend using Ebay auction toset an inflated price for a BIN I've been watching a load of stuff to see the final prices. Stuff "sells" for say £207 It then gets relisted £250 BIN Oh and all the bids are private.[/quote] Do you mean that the new buyer is reselling at the higher price? Or that the original seller is has blown off the buyer, and is selling again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
