David,

As the others have said you're just using ebay as another marketing tool but reaching a wider audience, so be prepared for even more idiots contacting you!

Be as honest as possible with everything - think of it from the buyer's perspective as you'd only be disappointed to travel some distance to view a "minter" only to find it's more like a "munter"!!

A good tip is to try and negotiate a sale outside of ebay through the use of the "this is for sale elsewhere, so I can withdraw it" wording, and then pull the auction to save the large fees they charge.

Ebay isn't expensive to advertise and their gallery auctions are very good. Get as many pics as you can prepared and put the best 4-6 up, and offer to email the rest to anyone who is interested. You may want to put a contact (mobile) number on for people to call direct - at least that way you can turn it off at night!

Best of luck!
