I dropped the price because everyone complained that I started out too high, with too much time left. I'm new to the whole ebay thing so I took your word for it. Check it out if you get a chance. It is in great condition and I took great care to post pics of any wear.

and what happened to all the poop jokes? Was that all you had?

no bids yet, which is surprising since according to orion blue book, it is underpriced. Any suggestions?

Which radio staion Steve? At home in California, Kearth 101 is the big one that I know of... And yes, they still play sloupy.

SP,
All that matters is the last 5 minutes of an auction. How many "Watchers" and viewings are there on the instrument?

What I have learned on auctions is to start low, set your reserve, go for 7-10 days and watch for any questions you can answer. Second attempts with a lowered reserve do suprisingly well.

Soupy,

MWoody is on the mark. It's the last moments that count. My philosopy is to just let the market decide and set no reserve. But, if you want to ensure that you get a minimum price, set that as your reserve. But no matter what set a low starting bid. You could start at $10.00 and you'll get a lot more action at the end. The next time you put it up, if it doesn't meet the reserve you'll get alot more attention, because people know you've lowered your reserve. My feeling is the market is smarter than I am at setting prices.

I believe that there is a dedicated percentage of the World's population that have a handful of saved searches they pull up religiously. Post it and they will look. I would also caution any New-bayers to set a reserve until you are really comfortable with the market.

Ebay can be a fickle mistress!

Man, if I only had you guys around when I could still play! I'd be famous with a name like that. Soupypoopies I think would only get me gigs in certain San Fransisco or the East village, Maybe west L.A. but with Mud Bottom, I could totally branch out.

I believe you'll get some bids on that O. If it sounds nearly as good as it looks, some lucky winner will be happy.
