LOL ive had fun on ebay over the last year mate its hilarious, was selling my power washer recently, and there wasnt many bids, so I left it until the last 30 seconds, and then withdrew it, bugger me 7 people bid at the last second !!!!!!!

so I lost out big time, very silly of me.

No worries though didnt want to sell it anyway, a reserve is a good idea I guess.

Start the price low and that always happens - sold a Ł120 4 port wireless ADSL router on there the other day. Started bidding at Ł25 - had 37 people watching it before first bid came in

Went for Ł60 in the end which I was happy with. It's e-bay - people try to pick up bargains - start at a price that you know people will be interested in it at.

Usally takes 3-4 weeks if you pay by cheque, they have to bank your cheque and make sure it clears before they send out your goodies!!
