So Ebay has been around since 1995.
Assuming a record is in very good condition not special but popular. What is your opinion on an average selling price not including shipping. Many sellers lower price items, and just jack up the shipping costs. thank you.
>>>>I don’t think it’s very helpful to talk about average selling price. There are too many variables like condition of the vinyl, condition of the jacket, first or later reissue, rarity, desirability. A lot of records in great condition don’t sell because they were manufactured in great quantities and everybody and his brother is trying to sell the same one you are. It’s a jungle out there. Generally speaking, eBay recommends running a 7-day auction for records with starting bid as low as 2 or 3 dollars. On eBay it’s common practice for the seller to only charge for USPS Media Mail, that will give you an bargaining advantage over the other knucklehead who charges for Priority Mail, no?
eBay sales don’t get as much as people think. And eBay is a fair representation of the value of records in general. Also, a lot of records you see for hundreds of dollars on eBay are there because they have not (rpt not) sold.
