I think you did the right thing.  I sold a stock A4000/030 machine a couple months ago and it took listing it three times to get $350 buy-it-now.  In the end, the re-listings and eBay fees killed me and I made about the same money as you when all was said and done, maybe even less.

I've seen a lot of stock A4000s being re-listed quite a few times because the starting bid or the BIN option was just too expensive. There's a stock 4000/040 for auction on eBay with a Buy It Now price of €350. I wonder how long it will be listed. I also wonder why Doomy doesn't buy this one and make a good profit out of it since he sure must get at least €450 for it... :-)


There's also an A2000 in "museum condition" on eBay for just €300 BIN (or €199 starting bid) - I wonder if Doomy would find that an okay price as well, since these machine are supposed to be BETTER than the A4000. Or maybe the seller asked Doomy already for a price to put it on eBay :lol:

A fairly nice A4000D with a DVD burner installed and a broken keyboard just sold on Ebay for $207 this morning. You didn't do that badly

I have sold a lot of amiga computers and items on ebay and I never sell buy it now. Some people pay more some get deals, but I leave it to the buyer to decide. I still retain my 100% feedback rating and 99% report fast service. The others don't report at all and that angers me, but that is another story. Back to the point, I think a buyer should bid what he thinks the item is worth, but If you want to try to get your money quickly Buy it Now is an option. Buy the way the 4000 looked very clean in the pics. I am sure the buyer will be happy. :-)

Doommaster just relisted his A4000 for $500 buy it now so it looks like the first deal fell through. I reiterate, I wouldn't take any advice from this guy on how to sell your Amiga stuff on Ebay. Yours and the one that went this morning sold in the range they should sell for. I'm also a seller with 100% positve feedback and it is a real asset on Ebay. Doommasters negative feedback is slowly strangling his Ebay business.

Err, Yeah I'm a little more advanced on selling Amiga stuff on eBay, along with other stuff. I ended up having to pause on the selling of stuff, because PayPal screwed my stuff up.

One day I will be able to have my own webstore again so I don't have to deal with all the annoyances of eBbay, but then again, who knows.

Yes, My Cecilia unit is a very clean unit, I hardly got a chance to really use her. I kept her away from sunlight and ultraviolet sources, and away from smoke. That way so the bezel didn't get all yellowed up. As I got her for $125 many a year ago on eBay, I guess it's the trade going full course.

I am very happy to see that you not only sold it for market price, but also that doomy didn't get a chance to buy it and re-sell it stripped down to nothing for 3x market price.

Geee I wonder why he re-listed his A4000? Because he's dishonest and tried to inflate the shipping *or* he had someone he knew outbid so that he could make it look like these are actually selling for that price... in an attempt to inflate the market value.

I didn't mean to demean you in any way as an Ebayer, I was commenting on Doommaster who has just relisted his A3000 zip rams that he can't sell for 19.95.

I became an Ebay seller due to dire financial straits--dead car and I needed to buy a new one fast and the happy circumstance of my neighbors setting up a wifi system whose range extended to my house which gave a stable internet connection at home after years of dragging my wifi laptop around different hot spots and I'm very grateful to Ebay for giving me the means to get me out of the hole I was in and sell a lot of stuff I didn't need in order to buy things I did need like a car. And things are much better now and I can actually permit myself the luxury of buying rare and interesting things on Ebay like Amigas. And with this perspective of Ebay as a financial parachute, I'm not about to risk my feedback by buying something from someone like DoomMastah who could give you a negative on the slightest whim.

You sold an A4000 that you weren't using for a reasonable price and the buyer might actually use it and give it some life and maybe even create something interersting with it.

that was a good deal.  I would have bought it had I seen that sooner.. damn.
