Here is a good rule to keep in mind:

Most people want to get things 1)Cheap 2)Quick and 3)Easy

The truth is that you can pick any two of those you want but you will always sacrifice the third.

This takes work and at first that work is really hard to do. Just stick with it and you finally figure it out. If you give up then you will never be able to sell :o)

NOTE: Did you know that the biggest mistake new eBay sellers make is that they forget to use the 80/20 rule? Send me a message and I'll tell you more.

Being cheapest is far from being best and eats margins, besides, as a buyer, price is not necesarily my prime motivator. I am happy to pay extra for quality and service.

As a seller I go to market with a price that I can make a decent margin on, and then justify the price through the "buying experience" to coin a phrase.
