== Ebay ==
All equipment will be sold on the brand new LHS [http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/londonhackspace/ eBay account].
 
=== Auction template ===
We should have a template to use for the auctions, containing all the common information.
Feedback from various people, to incorporate in the template text;
 
From Mike Harrison:
<pre>
[Quick comments on ebay listings from a seasoned ebayer
 
Specify pick-up location a bit more specifically - London is a big place, also specify possible
pickup times, and  emphasise pickup only in the listing text in big letters.
 
Just copy & pasting manufacturers blurb with no additional info looks bad, especially for a
zero-feedback seller - to instil some more confidence add a line or two about who you are & where
kit has come from - not specific, just that it's a donated bulk lot from a  working environment or
similar.
 
And add an 'about me' page.
</pre>
 
In that vein, it might be worth adding some background i.e. donated by last.fm, maybe a link to the hackspace, explain the good cause, etc.
 
* For the SCA drives we should list the number of sectors so that people looking for replacement drives for a raid array can be sure they get one thats the same size or larger.
 
On IRC:
<pre>
<aden> we probably should have bough tsome stuff on ebay to get feeback too, nobody is going to bid on a 0 feedback seller
<Paul2> yeah 0 feedback 'hack' in the seller name. 1 line desciption. LOOKS LEGIT @@@@@
<jontyw> I'm also not sure that we should be selling seven monitors in one batch, it's MUCH better to just have "7 available"
</pre>
 
 
I will have a stab at starting a template in a bit --[[User:Kevinb456|Kevinb456]] 20:10, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
