Cool. I also was testing the market to see I I could improve on the price I get from my buyer since gold has gone up recently. I did not get what I consider a worth while price. Its just so much easier to send off to my buyers knowing all is well. On
eBay there are risks that a buyer can ripe you off and it be a total loss plus the costs of shipping.
My response was "intended" to show more evidence of the market on ebay for scrap ram. I know is Mike is very experienced but I did include statements and information that I consider important for inexperienced folks to know. I have not mentioned this before but I do tend to answer questions or make comments directed not just at the individual but also the rest of the readers. I may have come off as if I was assuming Mike couldn't do the the math no so.
Ebay pushes hard to start auctions at 99 cents. I am not starting at that price for any of my items. The difference in my mind is generally what I sell is used stuff that not everyone needs. Because of this I run most as buy now, for 10 days with auto relist X 2. That gives me a month of near the top of the lists. With auctions my starting price is the least I am willing to accept for an item that way I am not disappointed.
I will say again its great that members here share what works and what does not do as well. 73, Mike
