I think I had beginner's luck with my first item, a pair of speakers. At one point 11 people were watching them. A local person bought them for fifty bucks, good thing too because they would have been a pain in the ass to ship.
Next I sold the cordless phones we replaced because we mistakenly thought they didn't work. $9.99!
Then my Buffy doll, er, action figure, which a co-worker gave to me as a joke. $14.99!
Fire in the Lotus, also for $14.99. An item with a very small audience.
Mattel matchbox airplanes, also $14.99.
A bunch of coins from my step-grandfather's travels. I made sure none were worth anything. This was the first time more than one person bid on an item. It was bid up from $7.99 to $17.84!
I almost gave up on this almost 20 year-old software when I decided to try one more time. Success!
