(...) The only Darth Vader I sold went for about $15 last year. But selling 8 at once will push the price down, of course... Kevin (25 years ago, 21-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) is not that high since Bobba Fett sold for $10.50. (...) They're not being sold all at once. This is a "Dutch auction" which means that the quantity of the item is more than 1. In this case, there is quantity of 8 available and there can be up (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) What he means is that by having 8 up for auction at the same time the prices will be lower than if you sold 1 per week or something. So they're being "sold all at once", just not necessarily all to the same bidder. Doug (24 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) That is not necessarily true. The price will go above $7.50 only if there are more than 8 bidders. If that is the case, the person who bid the lowest will be knocked off by the 9th bidder and so for. At any given time there are up to 8 high (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

That's just INSANE, with the Tie/Y fighter set selling for $27 at Target online a while back. I guess I'd better auction off my Vaders separate from the Tie Fighters then! (...) ***(URL) Visual FAQ home ***(URL) Bay Area DSMs (24 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

You WILL get a lower price Dutch than selling them in individual lots, virtually guaranteed. What you seem to forget is that if you set 8 Dutch at $7.50 beginning price, that means 8 people can bid $7.50 each before any prices change. If you auction (...)

You're right, but in this case I'm not trying to suck as much money out of people as possible. :-) $7.50 seems about the right price. Even better way to sell these for as much as possible would be to auction off 1 Darth Vader and then e-mail all the (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) I do know what a Dutch auction is, Dan. Have experimented with them on eBay and don't like them - if I have 8 of something to sell I prefer to do them in series. By "all at once" I meant "all at the same time" not "all in one batch": having 8 (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) Huh? Don't see how that would make it as high as possible. The low bidders of the previous auction might decide to bid more than before on the current auction, and fight it out with someone else - making your profit larger. -Shiri (24 years ago, 23-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
