Just like perfume, cheap doesn't sell, expensive does.

Subject: <VV> I think I figured out my ebay problems ...

My prices are too low.  I advertised these VERY cool child safety 
locks for the 4 doors (most GM).  They are cool because they are 
chrome and weird.  And also because replacement knobs are not 
available in all colors and if you restore a four door, these are 
legal and correct in concours.  I listed them for 25 bucks. Meanwhile 
another seller has 8 sets he starts out at 45 bucks and some have 
sold for 90 bucks.  And my rating is perfect and higher than his not 
so perfect.  What gives?  So I have several of the NOS parking brake 
alarms.  Listed them for 25 bucks.  No sale.  I relisted at 35 
bucks.  No sale.  I relisted at 45 bucks and I'll be hanged if they 
did not sell.  I guess good NOS stuff cheap is not the way to go -- 
all those people that get mad at the high prices don't even buy when 
prices are low.  So might as well ask big.  I made an offer to the 
loser of the last auction for the child safety locks for 85 bucks ... 
they sold!  Still have 1-2 sets of those left as well.  I remember in 
a business class the case study of a NYC hot dog vendor who was 
finally advised to double his prices and ... oddly ... his sales 
doubled.  No other changes.  Go figure.   I offered complete set of 
nice Spyder instruments for 69 bucks -- can't even get them at 
Clark's or CA Corvair -- no bites.  Had someone from the local club 
hook me up with someone in Phoenix and I told him I wanted 200 bucks 
for the instruments ... and he is thinking about it!!!!  I'm going to 
list them high now. E
