We offer eBay and other internet auction services for your convenience! This service gives you a chance to sell your items on eBay without the hassle of getting everything organized, take pictures, type a description, figure out shipping and getting it packed and ready to go! We specialize in making life easier for you, and this is another way we do it!
How it works:
Bring your item in. We'll evaluate a suggested starting price. If you're happy with the starting price we suggest you're all set! After the auction ends we'll let you know how it went! It's that simple!
What do we charge?:
We take 25% consignment off of the sale price if it will sell for more than $60. If it appears that it will sell for less than that or we cannot determine a starting price we charge a $15 upfront insertion fee. This covers the cost of eBay fees on us, and the man power to get your auction set up! In the event we do charge $15 upfront and your item sells for more than $60 we will automatically refund the insertion fee and take the 25%.
What if my item doesn't sell?:
If your item doesn't sell for any given reason we do have relist options. If we did not charge an upfront listing fee we can relist your item at no charge for half of the original starting price, or at the same starting price a second time for $10. If you did pay before the auction started we can list it for half the price at $10, or at the same starting price a second time for $15. If we are going to relist it and half of the original starting price is below the $60 mark we will have to charge $15 to list it at that price.
How long do the auctions stay up?
We list our auctions every Tuesday afternoon for exactly 5 days from the time it starts. This way everything will end on a Sunday afternoon. We've found that the amount of time an auction is up is irrelevant, since most of the bidding occurs in the last hour of the auction. We also want the auction to end on a Sunday afternoon because statistically more people are home in that time frame and the more people who might be eBay shopping in the last few hours of an auction the better!
Selling Cars and Houses on eBay:
We have a few plans for selling a car or a home on eBay as well! For this service we have multiple plans and options than a normal listing. Just like with selling a car or home in a traditional method it is a little more complex, so if you are interested in this service give us a call or stop by and we'll help you decide the best way to go about it!
What about Craigslist?:
Even though eBay is proven to be the most successful way to sell most items online, some things are a little more conveniently sold locally to avoid high shipping costs! Craigslist is an internet based local classified ad listing. We can get an ad started for you for $20. This service is a little different than eBay because instead of us handling everything for you from start to finish, we get the ad started and provide your information for contacting. This way if someone is interested in your item they can call you or email you. In this sense it is just like a classified ad in the paper, except that it is online!
This is a lot of information about our auctioning, so let us know if you have any questions! Our staff is more than happy to answer any questions you might have about these services! We make the actual process a very smooth and easy experience for you, and we hope you give us a shot!
