so sold it for 35.00 cal ripken and bill ripken autograph cd rom with a c.o.a


i get things all the time and update the site everytime so ther is always new stuff. i am waiting to get the autograph hockey puck from the pitts penguins. thats gonna be cool to auction off with the help from a local radio station krz because people around here are crazy over them and i faxed a letter to them and they agreed to it so im waiting for that as well.

Hi Ian,

Do you think that ebay.com is the best site for online charity auctions? even if there are fees.

Hi Admin {up}

I think when you have limited number of items to auction like PleaseSignHereX________ currently has then Ebay is probably the best place to sell for the maximum profit.

As you all know, I sold a couple of auction bits earlier in the year, and if it hadn't been for Ebay it would have been very difficult.

I know that Ebay do charge, but the fees are pretty minute for the potential exposure the items would get. In reality the listings fee for a $50 sale would only be a couple of dollars at most. I don't think any charity would complain about covering the sales costs from the proceeds made.

After all, I have checked on PleaseSignHereX________'s website several times, and it never seems to be working, and if people can't see your goods then you don't have much hope of selling them.

For what it's worth, my advice is to use Ebay for smaller lots.

Hi Ian,

I read in the newspaper today that from soon if you can prove that you are a charity seller then all of the fees that eBay gets then they will donate them to the charity you are working for.

Hope this helps,
James
