Should I put certain StarJets on Ebay or For sale?

JOHN JOHNSON · 08-26-2002, 02:23 AM

Before I make a decision before I start to sell all of Starjets as I am solid for 1/400 scales and I need to get rid of all 1/500 scales.

I question myself whether should I ebay it on certain models such as Malaysia 744's and some hard to find models? For the regular ones should I put on For sale in Trade section? How much price range should I ask for?

Thank you for sharing with your experience......

JJ your best bet is putting them on eBay and just posting a link to the auctions from the forums is the best way. There are many collectors that go on eBay but don't view the forums. Best of luck.

Yeah, I agree. Also, the price you want to charge as the minimum bid depends on the condition the models are in (although you know this). If you've got a pretty good model where it looks almost or just as good as new I say charge 70-80% of the retail price you bought it for as the minimum bid.

When I sell on ebay, I mark the price down to 9.99, post a photograph and describe the model in detail. Compulsive bidders will go into a frenzy when they see a model they marked %50 of retail. 3/4 of the time the model sells for more than I paid for it, hope this helps

What about the shipping cost? Should shipping be seperate from closing bid price being offer? or as courtsey to include the shipping cost? What would you do?
