I know it sounds like a lot but this is what I based it off of. Today I was looking at completed auctions and seen what people were selling there sega for and I got my figure from that.
this is just an example...... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...157485784&rd=1

you can try bro ... however, theres no way your gonna be able to sell it with a starting bid of $80.
the link you posted, that person had an initial bid of $9.99.
good luck sellin it. and dont ship anything overseas! bunch of scammers on ebay.

i wasnt gonna start it out at that price, i was gonna start it out at about 40-50 and see where it goes from there. 80 was just an estimate of what i think i could make off of it. I have read up on liquidation sales where you can get stuff dirt cheap example shoes for 4 bucks a pair and then resale them for like 20-40 bucks. I got an ebook about this lady that started out small and now she makes about 11 grand a month from selling victoria secret clothes. Yes she still has to pay for the item but if she doubles, or even triples what she paid for it she will still be makin a decent profit.

i sell some stuff on ebay, but just remember the key thing about ebay, everybody is looking for a good deal. Thats the attraction of ebay. I had these custom rear lights off a car i used to have paid like 250 for em' but only wound up getting 20 beans for em cause i didnt set a reserve. i know better now. but remember if u dont want to get rid of it for less than a certain price make sure u set a reserve. There are all kinds of tricks to selling on ebay look around the web for some FREE advise ( none of that "give me 400.00 for some info and show u how to make 100,000 on Ebay")that crap is a waste.

wrong thats a big mistake it was 100% my fault, u do not want to get bad feedback. That is the only thing that will make people want to buy from u. because there are so many scams. I mean on ebay now there are so many of the same items and thats basically what it come down to when a customer decides who to buy from. somethime u got to just bite the bullet

1 bad feedback isn't going to kill your entire reputation and selling on ebay. what's better - take a $ 230 loss or get 1 bad comment
i'm not saying take his money and run. i'm sayin don't take his money and make something up.

When selling on ebay make sure you have added in the charges for ebay and get some quotes for shipping, I would say for the left pic start the bid at 29.99-39.99 and the pic on the right I would say start with no more than 19.99, you will probably be able to find someone to buy it, this is just my opnion though, if it does not sell for that then re-list it and go down a little maybe, the people that are going to buy from you are people like me, I am a collector of games and such, where I live it's hard to find the older stuff so if I have to pay a little more for it on ebay I will. good luck

With the system im selling i'm including the sega system, 3 control pads, 2 joystick pads, multi-player tap, rf cable, powerpack cord, and 32 games. The guy that sold the 51 dollar sega had only 2 controllers and 9 games. Also to anyone who sells on ebay do you guys weigh your items and then use shipping calculator or do you actually take it somewhere and get it weighed or is there a flat rate you can get to send it anywhere in the lower 48 states? I was curious because i have never sold anything on ebay before.

The price of just the ink would have been $120, let alone the $180 printer
