Put My First Ad On The EBay
Not too tough but I will see how I do with these pieces. Again. I will anticipate failure but hope for success. But mostly anticipate failure.

Let's hope there's more people than just Hutterites on eBay.
Looks like you've picked up a Watcher already. Usually that means they are waiting for someone else to bid so they can see if they can get a better idea where your reserve is. The problem with reserves is that it takes your WHOLE bid if it is below the reserve, so there's no bidding high and hoping for a bargain.
That's a good idea to remove the reserve. But then I have to take anything they offer right? I am a newbie at this so I am learning as I go. Any advice is appreciated.
The Hutterites are too busy drinking beers behind the barn to go onto the computer.
Well, you can still set your minimum bid at something more reasonable. But yes, once you do that, if only one person bids, that's the price - your minimum bid, unless you have a reserve. I've never sold this kind of stuff on ebay, so go slow and see what works for you and what doesn't. Even if this doesn't sell because of the reserve, you will learn something from the bids you DO get. If the highest bid is $45 for example, then you will know that at least someone was willing to pay that much and you can decide to relist it to see if you can do better, or relist it with a higher initial bid closer to what it looks like people are wiling to pay. I think you can also offer it to the guy with the highest bid as a "second chance". Don't get discouraged. There's a learning curve and it's better to have a few early no sales than to let something go at a price you regret.
So I don't have to accept any bid I don't like. I am not obligated for a low bid. Is that right. So then I can set something lower if it doesn't work each time I put up the big. Yeh, I am working on the learning curve but appreciate you help very much, buddy.
Not exactly. If you put a 99 cent starting bid and someone bids a dollar and there's no reserve, you're screwed and have to sell it for a buck. So you really need to set your starting bid at an amount that you can live with. Some people start higher at a more satisfactory price just to see if there are any nibbles. You can always relist with a lower starting bid if it doesn't sell the first time. Just like being a buyer, ya gotta have some patience if you want to get the best deal for yourself.
