Flea markets, Con auctions and swap-and-sell Re: [OT] SellingFigs, old game

I've used Ebay quite a bit. If you're looking for the best possible prices for
your items, it's the way to go, although as has been said before, timing is
important. I usually keep an eye out for items similar to what I'm selling to
see what they're going for before I sell mine. If you're bound and determined
to get a minimum price, you can always use a reserve bid, which I almost never
do. Another place that I would strongly suggest for online sales is Bartertown
(www.bartertown.org). I've sold quite a few items through there as well, and
it's a great place if you're looking for good bargains or to trade. I would
caution you though, be sure to check references for people on B-town,
and also be sure to specify to shippers that they pack your merchandise
carefully if they're sending anything to you. One consistent problem that I've
had with trades on Bartertown is that most people seem content to throw the
minis in a box with no padding. I've had that happen with a couple of trades
recently, making me *much* warier about doing trades anymore (may have
something to do
with the fact that I'm pretty anal-retentive about packaging things well
when I send them, and expect that others take the same view. Unfortunately I
am disappointed more often than not these days in that respect).
