===Pricing===
*Most bidding happens in the final hour; the purpose of having a longer auction is so that people are aware the item is for sale and 'watch' it
*Although it might seem that starting with a higher opening price - nearer to the hoped-for sale price - is sensible, evidence shows it makes very little difference to the actual sale price; the auction will find the 'true' price either way. Therefore save initial fees and start with a 99p.
*If you want collection only, make it clear in the description ''and'' the price sections. Bidders may ask if they can send a courier with the cash though so decide in advance whether you feel that is a safe idea.
*Specify better where the collection point is, and note whether vehicles can pull up for loading. Also that it is outside congestion zone.
