I'm beginning to sell off my photo gear, I started with some lenses. It's been a long time since I sold anything so I'm out of the loop as far as best practices for sellers to get the most dosh.
I listed things with relatively low starting bids not realizing that a starting price under $250 only bids in 2.50 increments. So now some things are at $152.50. If I understand correctly, if person A sets a maximum bid of $500 for this item, started at $150. and then person B comes along and makes a maximum bid of $501, and there is no counter bid then the hammer price is $152.50.
Which makes me think I should have set a reserve or higher starting bid.
Here's the page listing my current items
Not sure if there is anything I can do at this point, there's at least one bid on everything, but moving forward is there a better strategy?
Any advice or opinions are appreciated.
