Listed about (50) lots of various collectible K&C sets on Ebay starting for Saturday 8/14 @ 4pm.
 
Just make sure you check other listings in case you double up on something somebody else is selling.
 
Far be it for me to comment on another seller's auctions but I'm wondering Mark if it wouldn't better to break up the auctions into smaller pieces. Not every collector or buyer may need or want all the pieces you have grouped into a particular auction.

I'm not saying the approach is wrong, just wondering, that's all.

I was thinking the same thing too. Also - those group prices are a little high for the Ebay Market right - wish him luck just the same.

Easiest thing would have been to list individually and just change the title and the one photo.

Oh well, still wish Mark luck.

I pulled up some past Ebay sales and compared them with what I have and think many items are priced fairly. Items like DD001, DD003 & DD004 are not exactly an over the counter item these days. Also the LAH items are quite sought after on Ebay...nevertheless I would rather price them for what I want then let the items sell for less then what I paid...Have you ever tried to package and ship 150 items??? I had to group them and this was the best I could do.

I understand the grouping is odd but I'm hoping some will see the benefit to sell the other items in the group to obtain the item/s they do want want for less...saving me the time to ship them all individually.
 
You may be attempting to save yourself time but from a buyers point of view. It doesn't work. I've had a browse but I'm not looking up 50 listings then trying to figure out what each listing contains. (Not everyone knows K&C set numbers off by heart). Then try and figure whether its a reasonable price.

If you've a list available with individual prices I may be interested in a number of sets.
 
Winston,

If you have no intention of reselling any of the items to obtain the ones you really want, then most of the auctions are probally not for you...I'm sorry about that!
 
"If you have no intention of reselling any of the items to obtain the ones you really want, then most of the auctions are probally not for you...:

An interesting concept but I think Winston's comments are valid. This method likely to deter quite a few potential bidders who may not want the hassle of having to sell the unwanted items.

Will be interesting to see the results.

I really only need one buyer (not more bidders) who would be willing to do the work and not see this as a "hassle"...this will prevent me from having to ship 150 individual items as well obtain the price I'm willing to sell them for.

You are concerned about shipping 150 items, if you listed the items individually many buyers could win multiple auctions and you can combine shipping. I looked at your auction and some of your groupings were interesting. Finally, There were some items that I wouldn't mine having multiples of, but not if I have to add additional sets I don't want.

Just so you know I have listed them individually as some have suggested.
 
I know of two Aussie members of this forum (both very well known to me)who are interested in some of your items but it appears you are not interested to sell overseas (I believe both have made postage enquiries already). I can tell you these guys are the type of collector you want bidding. As others have commented opening your auctions up to overseas collectors will considerably improve your results.
Regards
Brett
PS If they both bid and won you could even post to my shop and they would save on postage (which might mean they bid a little more). Totally I think they are after 4 items.

Added an option on the K&C Thread at top of the TF page to allow Treefrog members from overseas to bid....they just need to Pm me their Ebay user id so I can allow them bidding.
