I put more stuff on ebay last week and all the auctions ended last night. I am so pleased about the fact that ALL the items sold. There were only eight but I honestly was only expecting about a 50% sales rate, if that. Couple that with the last eBay go-round a few weeks ago and I sold 18 of 19 items. More mystifying to me is that this time, the only things I put up were VHS movies from my dad's old video store. I just am surprised to see that people still want VHS movies when you can get DVDs so cheap.
One of the movies I had for sale was The Air Up There with Kevin Bacon. About 15 minutes before the auction ended, there were no bidders. Someone emailed me and asked me how low was I willing to go because she wanted it for her children. Well, the bidding started at $1.50 so I wasn't really sure how much lower I could go. I mean, if you aren't even willing to pay $1.50 but you still want it, well, go to the library and check it out! Anyway, I wasn't sure what to do because honestly I wasn't willing to go lower. Not that I was being stingy but the auction wasn't even over yet and there were people who were "watching" it and could very well bid on it at the last minute. Last-minute bidding is very common on eBay. So I ignored her and the movie ended up selling for $3.25! I just thought it was an interesting tactic on her part.
