EBay

[(Shovel)]

In a couple of weeks I'm going have a load of 12 month old computer bits with no home and I figure it would be nice to recoup some cash for them.

Has anyone ever tried selling on EBay (or similar) before? Is it effective or am I in for a lot of hard work?

I'm mostly concerned about payment collection (given the bad press PayPal has had lately), things like delivery organisation and how things work if they don't pay up.

I'm going to be selling Duron 800 CPU, Geforce 2 MX and possibly a Belinea 17" monitor.

Or am I better off just pimping them nearer the time? ;D

Thanks for any advice.

Tell you what - I'll take them off your hands and I won't even charge you for it.

Ebay is pretty good simply because you get a vast number of idiots who will bid over the new price on items, hot diggity.

If you're only interested in selling to the UK, you could ask to be payed by Cheque, and agree to dispatch the parts when it clears. Or you could have them mail you the Cheque, and then they come and pick up the goods when it clears...

Doubt you'll get much for all of that but I hate ebay because for some unknown reason they couldn't verify my Credit card, then the email support wouldn't work either.

Gah, you've All adopted SG's annoying Random capitalisation System.

I need a new monitor. If you are selling that 17" for much less than www.microdirect.co.uk I'll take it off yer hands.

That'll teach you apathetic bastards for not taking part in my carboot challenge!!!

E-bays ok, you just need to make sure you don't agree to stupid crap like posting out to Outer Mongolia and accepting the payment in the current currency of the Ekikikakak tribe, which is poo moulded into the shape of elephants. Or something.
