You might as well have a reserve though, seeing as the starting bid is $400. Good luck though.

Yeah, I thought about setting the reserve at $400 and the opening bid around $100. Oh well. We'll see how it goes.

You must be very new to eBay, as there are many things I would have done differently in the listing. For one, I would give more information in the title and add a subtitle.

In the title, I would have written something such as this:
• EVGA nVidia 8800ULTRA • 768MB • PCI-E • NR!! •

I also would have given more an explanation as to the condition of the card and why you are selling it, such as you realized you didn't have a need for two Ultra's.

Anyways, good luck on the sale but I wouldn't expect to get much for it.

Thanks. I'll edit the listing with your recommendations.

mep916 · 01-18-2008, 12:30 AM

Edited. Any other suggestions?

If you want to make those bullets, hold down ALT+0149 (•).

I think it looks pretty decent now, although you may want to make the title bold or do something else to make the listing stick out, although most bids on high-priced items don't occur for the last day or two, so don't get discouraged if there are no bids and theres 48 hours left.

Honestly though, I know many potential buyers get turned off buying an expensive item from a new eBayer with no feedback. Also, people can see when you edited your listing and what you did to it, so try not to edit it for little things all the time.

Thanks for the tip. Couldn't figure that one out.

Yeah, that's my biggest concern.

Well, in that case, I'll leave everything how it is. Thanks for the help, Omega. I appreciate it.

You're welcome

If it doesn't sell this time, then I would do a bit of selling/buying on ebay with small items to at least get some positive feedback, and start the auction at $0.99, and if you'd like you can set a reserve.

The 8800 Ultra sold for $520. Special thanks to Omega and Kuzba for helping me with the listing.

Thanks again, guys.
