I've sold lots of stuff! Saddles, a car, boat anchor, grill, lots of small stuff.... I like to figure shipping, add $10 or so, list it at that and offer it with free shipping.

One question . Maybe you already said and I missed it?
Have you checked completed sales for the same thing you are planning on selling to see just how well they are selling and the general price they are bringing

Hey,
I have been selling on Ebay for 8 months now. It is nice to meet other sellers here in our great state of Florida. I think you have a good business model. I sell items low cost so I try to pass my savings on to the buyer. $10.00 profit per item sold is great. Good luck!
