However be aware of selling fees, they are very high! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another aspect too, on Ebay, you get buyer and/or seller protection via the dispute system and PayPal etc. I have bought one thing via Facebook - never again! There are too many cowboys ripping people off and wanting too much money for things, you also have no guarrantee of how quickly it will arrive and how well its packed. There is no feedback system when buying through Facebook - feedback is issued by a large proportion of buyers on Ebay - so it pays to get it right as a seller. Once you sell a few items, you almost get a 'reputation' and folks are more likely to pay more. I have been selling on Ebay since 2004 and while you do get some people who try to take the pi55, mostly they are good buyers. It is easy to get going - the tutorials are all there from memory. You can also look at other sellers listings to get ideas how to set a listing out. My five top tips as a private seller are: firstly be honest with your description - if it has a tear on one end of the box, say so or take a photo. Secondly if you want a certain price for something either start the auction at that price or make that your Buy It Now price - reserves are a waste of time and you pay for adding a reserve. Thirdly, dont forget to factor in the fees (Ebay 10% on both sale price and postage, PayPal varies but I allow 20pence + 3.4% of money recieved). Fourth, pack an item well to avoid damage in the post, I alway use oversized boxes with packing material. Lastly, take advantage of £1 maximum selling fees which come up every 2 weeks or so (at the moment), this means you only pay £1 no matter what the selling price is - for example a £90 item plus £10 postage would only cost you £1, instead of £10. Just my thoughts, probably havent covered everything and there will be other folks with thoughts too. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPS Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I have one of these. It was to commemorate being voted tractor of the year. There was a real machine painted gold and used on the stand at SIMA or Agritechnica. It was parked outside the reception at Beauvais for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I don’t have a feel for how often they come up for sale. 100 euros, feels on the high side to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have one..... and until you asked that question, I didn't realise there was a certificate with it! Mine has been displayed in the box, so hadn't been opened until now. The certificate is taped under the plastic tray. You learn something new every day! Pictures as requested. Also found a picture I took at Beauvais, outside the Engineering centre, I think probably after Agritechnica? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
