Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

OMG!! Did anyone look at the Fuji bikes on ebay from Marlboro. One person started the bid at .99 cents, but shipping is $300. Way too funny!

The listing is wonderful EXCEPT the part that says "contact me if you have questions." What are you going to tell them if they ask any questions about its attractiveness or if it's a "true" canary yellow (like any canary would be caught dead in that shade)?

List the starting price at anything you want. You obviously can't do a "Buy Now" at the same price as the others because I don't have the papers. But anything over the shipping cost will be gravy, so I'm game for whatever works.
If anyone contacts me with questions I will lie through my teeth!

Quote from jemeredith :
I seriously would go like 69.99. No denying it is authentic, so if someone wants it, they will know it is authentic when they get it. Plus, if you put too low a BIN, bidding will probably be less!
That's what I was thinking about both the starting price & the BIN price - too low, and people won't bid - they're funny that way!

Since there is no fee to list, think I'll start it at $29.99, with a $59.99 BIN - how does that sound?

My wife and I sold a lot of stuff on ebay, but it's been a few years. If you put a BIN look through the completed auctions for same items and average out what they sold for.... add to or subtract from the average for the BIN price. If a bunch of people were bidding on like items, go on the upper end of average. If only a few were bidding go low on the BIN. Free shipping with BIN also works. Should be able to ship that thing anywhere in the US for 8 bucks or less
Thanks for the tips. Particularly the free shipping with BIN - that could work very nicely. I've done quite a bit of selling on ebay, but haven't done any listings for months. This one is a bit tricky since I don't have the ugly thing at my house, and know nothing about the things.

I like the 29.99, but really think BIN should be 69.99. It is not a cheap purse, and don't want people to think something is wrong with it! And I really think the bidding may go higher because of the higher BIN price. All the other ones by this company are higher. Even just the wallets! Don't undersell it!

I didn't mean to offend you! But I am now on my second depends. First one turned canary yellow! LOL. I really think she should BIN ay 69.99, because we know it is authentic, since noone in their right mind would try to copy that lovely accessory piece of yours! No model # inside of it is there?
No, I already checked for that. You'd think that if they were going to send me something that gross, they'd have at least sent the papers along with it. Talk about tacky ! !

We really need to keep an eye on this one. Auction ends tomorrow! 9.95 shipping. Current bis 20.50. Maybe lower starting to 19.99, but keep a decently high BIN.

Ok, you win - BIN for $69.99 & free shipping if BIN option is chosen, and immediate PayPal payment is made.

So, back to $19.99 start, and $69.99 BIN, with free shipping if BIN is used?

That's not "ours". I haven't submitted the listing yet - still dickering about start price and BIN price.

That sounds good. I just can't wait to see what that thing goes for. Even at 19.99 plus shipping, she puts $20 in her pocket, and we havbe a blast watching it happen! Priceless!LMAOLMAO
