When comparing "SOLD" prices, don't forget to add the selling price and shipping together for the actual dollars spent. Then factor in your shipping costs, depending upon where you want to ship. You may also note that items that ship to other countries will bring higher dollars than those that are just shipping to the Continental U.S. (but with more risk).
You also have the option to list items at a higher Buy It Now price and then put in a "Make Offer". You can set prices that will automatically be rejected and those that will be sent to you to consider. Also don't forget to factor in that you will be losing nearly 15% between eBay & Paypal fees (if using both). So factor that in when making the PDML prices. :) On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 3:15 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi <[email protected]> wrote: > I search on eBay completed auctions and see what th market is paying > recently, then adjust to suit. > > Godfrey > > > On Aug 22, 2013, at 12:31 PM, Chris Mitchell <[email protected]> wrote: > >> OK, I should have known that too much information would generate a lot >> of interesting but (to me) extraneous chat! >> >> So I'm looking to sell a DA* 50-135, a lovely F*300 4.5 (the one with the >> tripod mount), an FA-135 2.8 (probably my favourite lens ever) and an >> FA-50 1.7. >> >> John very kindly suggested I look on KEH for an idea of pricing.
