RE: Went to buy some bottles and got this. - 6/11/2007 2:53:06 AM    L C   Posts: 1584 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline I believe it all has to do with timing, if the right people are on eBay to see the item when it is listed, it will do well, if they are not there, then the auction turns into a yard sale.

RE: Went to buy some bottles and got this. - 6/11/2007 2:57:00 AM    huffmnd   Posts: 372 Joined: 8/8/2005 From: Sparta Tennessee Status: offline That is true, but you would think that with all of the people that go to ebay that somewhere in the mix there would be at least two people that would do a little bidding, but then again I guess that is what we all want to do. Find an excellent deal with no competition. (in reply to L C) Post #: 42

RE: Went to buy some bottles and got this. - 6/11/2007 3:06:13 AM    huffmnd   Posts: 372 Joined: 8/8/2005 From: Sparta Tennessee Status: offline LOL!!! That is the way that it goes unless you are like me and you bid on something, then you increase your maximum bid to make sure that nobody will out bid you. You win the auction and get the item......... it will either be broken, repaired or the joker never sends it and scams you and about half a dozen other people with iteme he never intended on shipping out.

RE: Went to buy some bottles and got this. - 6/11/2007 3:13:39 AM    L C   Posts: 1584 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline I remember the first item I bought on eBay. I bid on a vintage Esso oil bottle, gave eighty bucks for it. Never paid attention to where the seller was. Of course they were in England. If I had been paying attention, I never would have placed a bid on it. I did get the bottle, but the shipping charges were pretty steep. That was my first hard learned lesson on eBay. I have bought very little off there, and doubt that I will ever buy anything off there again. < Message edited by L C -- 6/11/2007 3:15:37 AM > (in reply to huffmnd) Post #: 45

RE: Went to buy some bottles and got this. - 6/11/2007 3:23:57 AM    huffmnd   Posts: 372 Joined: 8/8/2005 From: Sparta Tennessee Status: offline I sell on there quite a bit, shipping charges aren't too bad as long as it doesn't weigh more than a pound going international. After that is when the charges start climbing. I hate it though when you run into somebody that is trying to make money on their shipping charges rather than on the item. I buy coins a lot and I have to watch them when you buy a coin for $20 and they try to charge you $99 to ship it. (in reply to L C) Post #: 46

RE: Went to buy some bottles and got this. - 6/11/2007 3:35:51 AM    L C   Posts: 1584 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Well, I have sold a lot of items on eBay as well. In my auction terms, I state that I charge a $1.00 handling fee. Now, if it is something like a coin, or a small item that takes little or no time to package, I will not charge a handling fee at all, and will let the buyer know I have not charged him or her for it.

RE: Went to buy some bottles and got this. - 6/12/2007 12:24:08 PM    Beebs   Posts: 138 Joined: 5/7/2007 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Huffmnd, I am not sure if this help you, but I checked out Kovel's & this is some of what I found. Razors Razors were used in ancient Egypt and subsequently wherever shaving was in fashion. The metal razor used in America until about 1870 was made in Sheffield, England. After 1870, machine-made hollow-ground razors were made in Germany or America. Plastic or bone handles were popular. The razor was often sold in a set of seven, one for each day of the week. The set was often kept by the barber who shaved the well-to-do man each day in the shop.

RE: Went to buy some bottles and got this. - 6/12/2007 3:46:39 PM    huffmnd   Posts: 372 Joined: 8/8/2005 From: Sparta Tennessee Status: offline Hey thanks Beebs, I may have done a little better than I originally thought. I would imagine though that the nude figures on a razor would be worth more than an eagle but you never know. I had a meerschaum pipe that had ( I guess what you would call) a figurehead of a woman that was nude from the waist up and it brought a pretty penny. All of the ones that had eagles on them did not do as well but razors are a different ball game and it may be different. Out of curiosity I may put it on ebay to see what it will do.
