View Full Version : Fixing a reserve to used bike parts on ebay?

I am planning on selling the parts that were changed on my ST4 after dropping it.

I'll be using ebay.

What would you reckon I should set the reserve at for the following:

Petrol tank - unmarked but used so the odd tiny
Non Frango panniers - light scuffs on the sides, mint condition prior to the drop
Left side upper fairing - light scuff
front fairing suff on the bulge next to mirror.
front mudguard small chipped section.

I'll see if I can post the piccies now to give a clearer indication of damage.

Also, with the new postage rules etc - how do I determine costs for sending. It's both weight AND size now isn't it?

Thanks for any help :)

Dont bother - IMHO

1) Someone on here might well want them.

2) Items without reserves attract more viewers, if not bidders.

3) I might be bitter with Ebay these day but I see lots of users selling stuff without reserve (with or without a 'I'm selling this elsewhere and will pull it out if I dont like the way the auction is going clause).....

and then close the aution if the bids are not high enough near the end.

End of rant.
