Not true. I have discovered that if I start at 99 cents I get about twice what I think my stuff is worth.
On the other hand, while Westbrook is venerable, and I feel a bit bad that they are being cut up, they are ten dollar kits. I would bet you could get $25 plus shipping, but that is because there are a lot of bidders out there who do not know the value of older stuff.
I did four items last month. I told my accountant would be happy with $300. I started them at 99 cents. I got almost a grand! And one did not even sell at 99 cents.
true but then you run the risk of not getting what its worth at all. guess thats part of auctioning. i might stick them on the for sale forum here, we'll see.
