It never ceases to amaze me the extent of the '99c' mentality of buyers on ebay. It seems that even if one has quality items, genuine appraised items, bulk lot of items starting off at a very reasonable price, buyers are of the fixed mentality that they are entitled to a 99c start off auction. I have observed this mentality over a number of years and it seems to have grown. It's also interesting to note that so called potential buyers will 'watch' your item/s , obviously to let the seller know that they are interested in what they have for sale, but at the same time do not actually place a bid. The message that they are actually conveying is; we are interested in what you have, but are not interested/prepared or expect to pay your price. Fair enough, that is their prerogative. What they are hoping is that the seller will then relist their items for less, much less hopefully, in fact get it down to 99c and then they will place a bid.

It's not worth the time, energy or cost to relist to satisfy the 99c mentality masses. I would prefer to donate my goods to either a charity organisation or place in the general household trash for landfill, but I will never list items that are worth it for 99c.

Happy bidding all on your 99c items.
