<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2133042, member: 36230"]A big mistake? No... at least not for the stated reason anyway. However, depending on how much you need or expect to get out of it, perhaps it was a mistake. As mentioned in your other thread, you are at a disadvantage because of the zero feedback, and it is likely that someone who would have otherwise bid will be scared away by it. A low opening bid does not mean there is great interest in it or that all will turn out in your favor. If this is an item you need to pocket (as an example) $5 to break even on, after fees and expenses, you must understand that it might not happen, and this is why you might be better off starting out with widgets you're either okay with losing on or simply won't lose on until getting a better feel for what you are doing. Everyone makes mistakes, and if you're going to be a seller starting out without a great deal of knowledge, you are likely to make a lot of them.. if not with this listing, perhaps with the next. Take your time, don't rush things, think before you act/buy/sell, and never make assumptions. One way or another, this should be a good learning experience for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
