Hello, I'm selling my first item on ebay, a 5986 I got a Target a few summers back. Oddly though, no one is interested in it, but the same thing from another ebay seller is up to $56, (URL) anyone have any ideas why, is it because my picture is (...)

(...) Hi George, Sometimes it happens by chance that an auction gets overlooked. That's how I recently got a Poolside Pardise for $9.95 *including* shipping. :-) The advantage you have is that you can flog your auction here on Lugnet (and in a way (...)

(...) Don't forget you set the first bid amount to $20.00 where as he had it set to $1.00. Once a couple of people start competing, it is easy to not see a better deal. Jude (22 years ago, 29-May-02, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) A set like 5986, you'll probably *never* be the only seller. I see that yours is up to $31, but the big reason why it hasn't gone higher is that you still have over four days left. Wait and see--when the weekend hits, it'll shoot right up (...) (22 years ago, 30-May-02, to lugnet.market.auction)
