    listed properly, with everything in place, it won't matter what you start it at. As far as that goes, the lower, the better. When I was selling laptops on there that would bring 4-6 hundred dollars, I'd start them at $0.99 cents, knowing that would get people started bidding early, and that the price would reach the top, from the sheer factor of so many people interested in it early. If you 'll use the pre scheduled listing it helps a lot also, and have it all set up at least a couple hours before it's set to start.

    Well I sold the Hilti Pr16 rotary laser level on ebay for $75, for sure better than scrap value! I could of did better though, the value of this tool is $200 at the low end. I made mistakes (like calling it a pro16), should have taken more pictures, listed for more days, ending time were I could have monitored that last hour. Overall I'm very happy, this is going to be a new way of making money and that's what its all about. Not bad for an item found in the dumpster. I have easy more than $1,000 worth of tools I'm going to list on ebay in the coming days.
