Looks like my first ebay sale is quite sucessful, I never thought it'd get this high. Hopefully the bidder read the description and is aware it's only for 1.

Here's a recent one that was sold about 1 week ago. Just to show you the difference in price. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7960194302&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

Nice man...especially to get that much for something you got for free. I think the reason yours did a lot better than the other guy's is due to your description and your close up picture of the item. He even had more bidders than you and still came out much shorter. No matter how good of a deal, I have a hard time trusting someone on Ebay with a 0 seller rating. If your seller rating was higher, I'm sure you would have gotten more bids and possibly even more for your item than what you got.

Thanks for your response, Yes I do know my rating is 0, but that's just because I've never bought from ebay. There's been nothing I needed from there and shipping to Canada is a big problem too. By the time duty and everything is done, it'll be the same price in a store.

I think one other reason yours went so high is the colors, if you were looking for a red one then you would buy that other guys, but having two colors, you were pulling in two sets of people looking for the pre painted on plus those folks interested in painting it.

That's understandable... everyone starts off with a zero at one point or another on Ebay, but with sellers, a lot of people question their integrity. I'm just saying that had you been a more experienced ebayer, I'm sure you would have gotten more bids. In no way am I saying that you are a seller who can't be trusted.

No worries BlackElantraGt. I understand what you mean about sellers with more feedback. I've looked for many things on ebay and don't look twice when I notice lots of negitive feedbacks.

same here. if you ever have a seller with less than 90% feedback, you should move on. probably someone you dont want to deal with. JMO
