I've been buying on fleabay for many years. I just now started selling.
I've sold 3 items so far and I think I have been doing it wrong.
I set what I thought was a reasonable price as the starting bid. I sold all three items but all with only a single bid at the last minute.
This time I put the starting price at slightly below what I have in the razor and got 2 bids immediately. I'm hoping for a bidding war at the end. We will see.
I guess it is a gamble. The old method of protecting yourself with a reserve seems to scare off bidders. I see many of those wind up with no bids at all.
On a positive note, the person that bought my last razor was the first bidder on this one. I guess he liked what he got.
There was a Filharmonica a couple of days ago that got no bids with a starting bid of 99 cents. The only reason I can see for that was the "reserve not met" flag.
