Am I doing it wrong ?
« on: September 05, 2003, 09:12:45 AM »
I've posted an add in the classifieds both here and on two other amiga related sites as well as on Amibench.  So far I can see quite a few people had a peep at the offer but I only got 2 people showing any interest at all.  Maybe those two are all I need but I imagined there would be more of an interest in an Amiga 4000.  Isn't that supposed to be hard to get ?
So I'm wondering what's wrong.  Do I live in the wrong part of the world ?  Or am I trying to sell the wrong machine ?  Anyway it's still there so you experts go have a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong... 8-)

Thanx.  Might give that a try.  Makes sense really, bigger community so more chances of people being interested.  Somehow I never was fond of e-bay, all those stories about bad sales, of course in this case I'm the seller so no need to distrust myself, is there ?  How about untrustworthy buyers, is there such a thing ?

@Oldsmobile_Mike

I know it’s a shame they don’t just list everything.  The only way to make sure you see everything available is to go to refine search and check Items available to ...(your country)
For people like me living in Belgium it’s quite hard, who will ever think of having a look at the Belgian e-bay site ?  I’m trying to point people towards my sales by mentioning it on the forums.
Right now I have a few items on there.  Have a look at :

One thing to beware of though when searching European sites, not everything is compatible with American equipment.  I don’t think you would have use for e.g. a PAL standard direct to disc recording device like the DPS PAR I’m selling.

@DoomMaster
Thanx for the advice.  Some of the things you mentioned didn't quite work for me, the "buy now" option was not available, I don't have enough points or something.  I also didn't go for the extreme low prices like 9,95.   I just put the amount I want, whatever people bid more is up to them (and good for me ;-) ).
The gallery, right now, is free here so I definitely used that.  So far everything is going well, a few items already got a bidder, now all I need is a bid on the remaining items...
Any takers ?  :-)
