Hi. I'm planning to run a moderate-sized auction of about 20 sets on Ebay starting in a couple of days. So, I'm soliciting advice. --Is it best to run an auction for 3 days, 7 days, or 10 days? --Should I start the auction so it will hit more (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Don't end it on a weekend - lots of people bid from work or (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) You can also link to the item page on lugnet, but in my experience, actual pictures of your items seem to really help. I use a digital camera to make it easier, just snap, download to pc and put in listing. Or take pictures on film, an (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) The auctions I've run generally go higher if they end during the weekday. Another good idea is to time the auction end to coincide with evening hours Pacific Standard Time. I think many people are online in the evenings rather than the day. So (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Yes, I've linked to the item page on Lugnet as well, but would really like catalog or instruction scans. problem is, i don't have a scanner or digital camera myself, nor do I have any sort of photo-editing capabilities for situations such as (...)

(...) Get your pictures from (URL) On average, the quality is much much better - in my opinion. This is because Huw uses instruction/box scans rather than sales catalogue scans. Huw also offers scans of the figures in each set... which can be a (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) One of the reasons was that many Ebay auctions connected to the pictures on Lugnet, making Lugnet to pay for other people's profit, without getting anything in return.

(...) MS Paint does work with both jpg and gif images. You need to have the later version of win95 or have win98. MS Paint is severely limited, however is adequate for a beginner. Regards, Scott (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) Windown 98 version of Paint works with JPG and GIF files. Win 95 version probably doesn't. The last time I checked, IE5 displays bitmaps. But if you want to convert them to JPG, ACDsee has a converter also. (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
