Re:eBay

Free shipping, hmm? Shipping Descent could be pricey though.

I do always take my own pictures and post them. Is there any point in adding a minimum bid? What about item naming? I'm selling base game, Well of Darkness and Altar of Despair as one lot as I threw the boxes for WoD and AoD away.

Re:eBay

DESCENT + Expansions - Fantasy Flight Games NO MINIMUM | LOW SHIPPING

Something like that. The description needs to be explicit. This is the HTML from my prettier older listings. You should be able to figure out what goes where. That way, eBay only hosts one image, but you can show as many as you want.

Unless you're planning on your bidders being stupid (which is not necessarily a bad plan, I'm a little bit lazy about exact shipping calculations when I'm a bidder), they're considering the shipping when they bid and therefore bidding lower if there's no free shipping. So it shouldn't matter. Just say something like $20 shipping for international buyers or something.

Re:eBay

Speaking from bitter experience, do not guesstimate international shipping! It's an easy way to see $20-$30 of your profit disappear in an instant if you guess wrong. The cutoff between First Class International and Priority International (a huge increase in cost) is 4 lbs. or 36 in. of total dimensions of your shipping box. I guarantee that your Descent lot exceeds both of those criteria so you could end up screwing yourself if you base your shipping cost on the First Class rate, even though you're not eligible.

If you're selling it all in one lot, perfect. What you do is take your pics and get it packed up before you even list it. Then take it to the post office to weigh it and measure the box. Then you plug in the weight and dimensions of your box into eBay's postage calculator and you don't have to worry about it.

However, make sure you put a disclaimer about customs charges in your auction (just do a Google search or search eBay and copy/paste the exact verbiage they have on their Help page devoted to the topic) as I recently had someone come back at me bitching about them. I didn't have the disclaimer (didn't even know I was supposed to have it) so I just split the cost with him to avoid a messy dispute I'd probably lose. Despite this sort of thing, it is worth offering to ship internationally because, even if no one from another country buys your item, they might still bid it up for you.

Re:eBay

I know someone mention ending on Sunday, but I've always ended my auctions on a Tuesday night between 8 and 9 eastern time. Sunday can be a busy day for people and they may overlook auctions. Tuesdays, most people are home and you are setting a time that allows people on the east coast to eat dinner and settle in before ending. It also is at least late enough that you aren't ignoring west coasters.

I agree with free shipping; people will extrapolate the value. Just put a caveat that you will not ship internationally or to Alaska or Hawaii to protect yourself.

Man O'War Ship Boxed Sets: The Empire, Bretonnia, Dwarf

I can't believe that I have owned Man O'War since 1993 and managed to move it from house move to house move untouched. Seriously - what was I thinking. I have no realised that I'm never going to get around to playing this fine old game of Warhammer naval conflict - but the Dreadfleet release reminded me that I had it.

So, I have a bunch of ships - suitable for any game of fantasy naval conflict - in their original boxes, unpainted, unconstructed and ready for someone else to love them. Shipping from the UK, worldwide.
