    When Selling Cell Phones on Ebay. Multi Lots or Specific Lots?

    Do you guys have more success listing the same phones in lots of 2 and 3 or one large lot with many types of phones? I'm referencing newer phones, not scrap phones.

    I tend to mix it up. I'll do smaller lots and larger lots, as there are different types of buyers who may be interested in one or the other. Just my 2 cents.

    IF they are the same exact phone I would do a 30 day auction selling 1 at a time but have as many as you have available. This does 2 things. It only costs you $.50 to list it for the 30 days. If someone only wants 1 phone they can buy one phone and if they want them all they can buy them all. Ill also try and figure out a shipping discount for a multi order as well. I do this with ram sticks and hard drives all the time. Ive sold a single stick and as many as 20 all from the same listing. You hit both types of buyers that Ryan mentioned abocve.
