there is only one reason something; anything for that matter, does not sell.

price.

I think this is a good starting point and your advice is well taken. However; I think price is just one of many factors - be it an important one.

For purposes of market experimentation we listed 200 items for sale on ebay at 20% of there average cost -- buy it now GTC. 2 sold the first day. Most of The rest sold at a rate just over our baseline 12% of inventory every 30 days. There was a discernible impact; but not proportionate to the discount. These 200 were spread among the roughly 6,000 items we run every month .

I went out of town over Christmas so I pulled all of my 250 listings. Everything that was by it now I have not relisted yet but we left on a Friday and I started 85 auctions on Friday night Saturday night and Sunday. Of those the ones which there were 8 and they all sold. And I started them at one I would like to get for them instead of $.99. Well I start at one at $.99. Now I have probably 70 ending tonight most of them I started at what I would like to get except for there were a couple of silver coins so I started those off and $.99. Probably half of them of the not $.99 listings have a bid on them or two. I'm just gonna let them and and then if they don't sell probably just list them all $.99 next week. It is all jewelry though but a lot of the pieces I was hoping to get bids on all do have them so everything else is not a big deal if I have to sell them lower next week. I just got to stop holding on the stuff. I have so much stuff sitting some waiting for some what do you make an offer on it. I usually buy everything so low that starting in anything since really isn't going to hurt anything. But I think I'm just going to auction a lot from now on and whatever I want to get a higher price out of start at one I'm happy with. Even if that is $10 or $20 less than what the other ones like it sold for I just need to get more money saved up!

I deal in stamps and make my money when I buy, then start everything at .99, close it out on Friday or Saturday evening Eastern time where most of the US population resides, and it will reach it's true market value. I lose on some, but most turn a profit. In a declining market, like what we have and I believe will continue to have for years to come, cash flow and turnover are King. Nothing is actually worth more than what it will sell for, and a little bit of something is worth a whole lot more than nothing.
