I also always do a buy it now for around 10 to 20 percent more of my starting bid. Ide rather sell it now for a good profit than wait for a bidding war. Im all about averages. Ill give you an example. I buy an 80gb sata hard drive for $2.50 We all like to at least double our money so thats what I try to do. Ill list it for starting bid of $8 and a buy it now for $10. If it sells for $10 i have $2.50 invested into the drive. ebay and paypal fees will be about $1.50 shipping materials another $.50. So i now have $4.50 invested int he drive and I made $5.50. now if it only sold for 8 I would make about $3.50 profit. Average the 2 out over a single bid winner and a buy it now winner who didnt want to wait for the auction to end and I made $4.50 Doubled my money.
