    Now I'm on Ebay!

    Testing the waters, I'll see how it goes. I've just picked up 4 cases of these, so I've got 96 bottles total.
    Feedback appreciated.

    Those are cool. Do you know how old they are? Do you know of any other kinds that are worth good money like those?

    I do not offer free shipping with a starting bid of 0.99/1.09c. If you get one bid, you're committed.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I'm pretty much a beginner. But I did notice someone has one listed for 24.95.
    My Dad has a Jumbo brand bottle with the embossed elephant, its worth quite a bit.
    On a side note, I have 4 complete cases, I wondered if I should sell it complete or not. Its the yellow original Lucky One case x 4.

    What I do is offer free shipping and set the beginning price at the least I'll take, plus shipping at the Flat Rate that it'll take. Does Canada have Flat Rate?

    EDIT: I see you already did that.

    As far as I know there is no flat rate here. These bottles are heavy for their size, .088 lbs each.

    if you have 96, put it at a buy it now or best offer, 96 / 3 = 32 separate "lot of 3" auctions, and that would be tough. Even though i do not have an ebay, i get more interested in purchasing by the way the seller describes the item and the description is written professionally. Images are good quality. Other than, good job on the auctions so far

    As an Bbay seller I'm amazed at what sells , somethings of a great value (£100+) can sell for a few £'s . Yet other items (of no value ) sell for silly money.
    If there was any logic to it the 'fun' would be gone.
    I normaly start high and see how it goes (reduce/relist/add too/split/rephoto/rethink!), If auctioning don't be affraid to 'pull' to listing due to lack of 'watchers'/bids.

    Only problems i've had is silly fees and with the 'free postage'-always state limitations
