A second hand power board for $19 and $11.30 postage!! I can get the exact same one brand new from Bunnings for around $12. The prices are staggering for most of the items. Vintage doesn't mean valuable. Often it just means junk. Looks like only 2 items sold. It's no earthly wonder why!
Arts, I second what Padi said. You really need to look at what you are pricing everything at. You've got some good stuff there, it would be a shame if you couldn't sell it because they are too expensive. One example, a clapped out old clock radio, that isn't even a decent brand name, for $25 with $40.80 postage......and I'm in the same state. Would hate to see what it costs to send it to WA! No-one in their right mind would pay that. Same with a lot of your books. They just aren't worth that.....to anyone.
Edit: Here's one for Brer! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BRER-RABBIT-BY-ENID-BLYTON-POP-UP-BOOK/123378230126?hash=item1cb9ea636e:...

The seller seems to think that the value of a book doubles or trebles once it has been read. Add high postage and they are never going to sell.

Apparently it's a scrolling tool issue that has stopped their sales. I wouldn't say they had stopped, they never really started. I just hope Arts takes on board what others have said here, or they are going to go broke pretty quickly. Paying 20 something bucks a month for a store, and not getting anything back for it. I certainly wouldn't be wasting my money like that. May as well walk out onto the street and throw it in the air.....or burn it.

I seriously hope you are not advocating book burning.

Hmmm, $132.85 postage to me in WA Tippy - shame they don't have 2 of them..........................

You can buy a new, brand name clock radio of less than he wants for one that is for parts.....as well as crazy postage costs.

There could be all sorts of "antique" bits in there.......

I'm on standby with a blanket in which to roll any burning books, should tippy*toes (unlikely scenario!) actually be brandishing a flaming torch towards a pile of books.

$25 for a pair of pink rubber thongs PLUS $11.30 postage to an adjacent state???? $36 for a pair of Millers cropped pants which originally cost no more than $20 - and then $11.30 postage again??? Same price for a Millers T-shirt???
The mind boggles at the prices being asked.
Tell em he's dreamin'.
