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.

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.

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'.
