[QUOTE="Hotpocket, post: 1926857, member: 44182"]I do think that selling on eBay takes some amount of smarts & skill. What is the quality of your pictures? How well written is your Title and description? Is your claim that your item is rare/hard to find compelling? If there are any deficiencies in your item (ex: a rim ding on a coin), are you clear, up-front and honest about it (or do you try to hide it and just say "sold as is"). All these things impact whether the buyer 1) finds your item, 2) likes your item 3) feels confident that it is what you say it is and 4) feels "safe" in purchasing because you have written warranties or guaranteed refunds. So easy to say that it was luck, and maybe that's partly true, but I think there is a bit of art and science along with luck that makes for a successful sale. Congrats on your $160 - you must be doing it right![/QUOTE]
