Last one sold for £84 but that doesn't necessarily mean that's what you'll get for yours. Why not try the Forum Classifieds first?

Since you are asking this question, you probably haven't got an ebay feedback rating. Best thing to do is to buy/sell some low cost items first, or you may not reach the full price achievable.

It's definitely worth getting organised with ebay+paypal; it makes it possible to turn things you don't want back into cash, and buy more things!

Simplest thing is to buy/sell half a dozen cheap items such as CD's/DVDs. Then people will see you do actually pay/deliver, and they will bid more for your higher value items.

Exactly what the scammers and con men do, so be wary of feedback ratings on Ebay.

No, exactly what everyone does. It shows that you can pay, and you can deliver.

The scammers and conmen then go on to offer a brand new, hard to get, £2000 item at a low price. That's why you should check the feedback carefully if you're considering such a high value, too good to be true deal.
