Well, for my 99c mentality, here is my 10c worth of advice!

CALM DOWN!

sheesh.....   talk about a lot of hot air!

What does it matter to you if other sellers list at 99c or not! No-one is asking you to do the same, and if your items are worth more than 99c, then LIST them accordingly!

Let me tell you a little story about me a few years ago. I had a 30ft caravan for sale. It was old, but in good nick and onsite near Terrigal beach! I loved it, but i lived 6hrs away, and the site rent was an added cost I could no longer afford. I listed it on here for $8k. It ran its auction, heaps and heaps of watchers, not one bid!

hmmm, i thought, perhaps i will try again, as i had a lot of watches. So i relisted it again at auction for $8k. No bids.

I left it for a 2 weeks.

I decided to relist it again, but this time i upped the price to 10k. my thinking was, watchers who are interested in my item, will see my price (knowing it prob wouldnt sell) then when i relist next time, they wil see i have knocked off $2k when i relist immediately for $8k (my original price!)  This tactic might draw more buyers, i thought.
Guess what, i had a bidding war with a $10k start and it sold for $12,200. :^O

Go Figure!

Its not the amount of people who watch your item, its the amount of people who WANT your item, during that particular listing time!  I watch items all the time, doesnt mean i want to buy them today....

Personally, I would NEVER list anything at 99c. But i have watched 99c items go for as much as $200 - $300. They are the lucky ones, this rarely happens.

Moral to this story is: Its your stuff. price it accordingly for what you want to get for it. When the right person comes along, they will pay you the money. You just need to be a little patient. 🙂
