FeeBay auction selling tactic

[David Fertig]

Here's a good selling tactic:

Use and old outdated price guide.
Price your damaged item above what the market would pay for a VVNM example. (It's more like the whole tip an them some is missing)
Be rude in you listing.

Aqua SB
F-Skirt embossing Harloe's Patent/Mar 21,'99/Mar 12,'01/Dec 9,'02/P.I.
McDougald's price quide indicates
that this insulator is worth much more than the asking price. What good is
all the research that goes into a price guide if it can not be believed or followed.
Hopefully the nay sayers will not show up.

I guess that's how he earned his 98.6% feedback.

Theres no way I'd spend that kind of money on a bottle or insulator. Don't care if its in perfect shape. []

Pet peeve: selling an item and having horrid spelling. Show yourself and your potential buyer some respect by spelling correctly. It takes 30sec to look up the spelling of a word.

pet peeve: stating how much the item is valued at on eBay/xxxx price guide/xxx appraisal guide. Repeatedly quoting prices of other sites/books and trying to head off the "nay sayers" is pretty indicative that the person knows that he/she is trying to pull one over.

thats very funny very near mint besides the chunks missing.......ebay has spell check that can be used before you finalize your listing..Iam guilty of not proooof reading, and have miss hit keys a lot..

It's obvious this guy is not a bottle person. Nor collectibles item person. He's a wool seller.
