 Topic: TM $1 reserve auctions?
Posted: 13 October 2010 at 3:34pm |
Has anyone here been brave enough to list nappies on Trade Me at $1 reserve? Did you have any luck? Not sure whether to risk it or not lol - I had awesome luck listing six old Icebreaker jerseys (I used to work there so they were free  but didn't fit me anymore) at $1 reserve; they each sold for $50-60! Not sure if it would be worth it with nappies though...

I'm always too scared to list anything worth a bit of money for $1 reserve! I always put on a buy now of what I would like to get for it, you could do that...?

i have done it before with mixed results - some have gone for next to noting and others went crazy. it all depends on the market and what sort of nappy i think.

I would say for ittis, and other well known brands you could risk it. I wouldn't probably as you just might have bad luck and hit a lull in the market so to speak.

Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd!

I am going to for my older nappies but then put my newest ones on $1 auction but with a higher reserve (the minimum I'm happy to get for them) and a buy now of ridiculous proportions

Ok I listed them for the price I want to sell them for, and if after a week it doesn't sell then I'll try a $1 reserve and see what happens

i have some Baby Harmony and Wigglebums nappies listed on TM at the moment, I might try the same thing if they don't sell this week!
I'm not keen to get stung with someone actually buying them for only $1 though...

Wow just checked TM and my prefolds are up to $15.50 and the bitti boos $10.50  one closes on wed and one thurs so even if they don't go much further that's still more than I thought I'd get!
