-== 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)
-===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.
-*Require payment via PayPal within x days and collection within y days otherwise you reserve the right to relist without compensation.
-*Specify better where the collection point is, and note whether vehicles can pull up for loading. Also that it is outside congestion zone.
