Sometimes when I list items, I don't always know how much they'll bring or if they'll sell at all. Often I just think they are neat and take the chance when I purchase them that they will be favored by someone else. So is the case with the vintage goldtone Gillette safety razor I picked up at an estate for $1.00. That's right, I paid a $1 and figure that anything is worth the risk at that price....
So I listed the item this week on eBay. Immediately I had 10 watchers and the questions...oh my the questions. Will you sell it now at 9.95, will you accept a money order, will you be certain to sell it to me if it doesn't sell at auction, will you sell it now at 15.00, you say adjustable and I don't see the adjustment....Wowsers...that's only after a few days.
As a seasoned seller, I am aware that if buyers start to ask you to remove items at Buy it Now prices, they are usually willing to or have spent a great deal more for said item. So it has always been my policy to not remove an auction listing for a buy it now offer. It says so right there under the description of absolutely every item I have for sale...but still they ask, and often get testy with me. I have great credit, I have awesome feedback, I'm trustworthy, I'm honest, etc....
So here is my item of the week that happens to be giving me a headache from all the little messages I am receiving....Now back to work, I'll let you know later what the final sales price is for my $1.00 razor.
The razor sold for 33.00 on 3/12!
