Hi, I'm about to sell off a huge portion of my 
cels, because I'm unemployed and I'm going back 
to school full time... so I need some source of 
income to just keep me adequately fed for the 
next few months.

I never sold cels online before.  I'm just about 
1-2 days away from completing a web site with all 
the cels I will be putting up for sale.  Most of 
the pics are already there, but now I need to 
iron out my policies on making offers, shipping, 
etc.

I've been looking at sale pages of other private 
collectors.  And I've been lurking on this board 
for quite some time, and I'm getting a ton ideas 
on how I could sell these cels.  Maybe too many, 
because I'm getting information overload.

Because I do need quite a bit of money up front, 
I'm afraid I will have to take some cels 
immediately to E-Bay.  As soon, before those 
jokers jack up the fees at the end of the month.

I haven't quite decided on specific questions I 
should ask, and I'm very tired right now, so I'm 
going to do this instead.

If you are a regular E-Bay CEL seller, please 
respond to this post and offer me your personal 
advice on the most important things to place on 
my auction descriptions or to consider as the 
seller.  Or e-mail me URL's of your most 
successful & hassle-free auctions (you can find 
them on your feedback page, I think) so that I 
could see how you wrote your auction descriptions 
and policies.

Keep in mind, I never sold anything on E-Bay 
before, so the more advice you provide me, the 
better.  I already decided that I will 
automatically cancel bidders of feeback less than 
2, but that's about it.

I would also appreciate advice on how to 
successfully sell my cels without resorting to E-
Bay but still getting the money I need.  I 
suppose this means taking offers instead of 
setting prices, but I would like to know what 
kind of policy works for you the most.

In the end, it may simply come down to the 
quality of the actual cel, but I'm sure there are 
ways to advertise any cel more effectively.

Thank you.

PS - Although this may be subjective, I will be 
allowing those who offered really useful advice a 
sneak peak at all the cels I have for sale, 
including the ones I plan to post on E-Bay, at 
least 24 hours ahead of time.  That way, they can 
make any offers that might persuade me to avoid E-
Bay.  So don't forget to include your e-mail 
addresses in your replies.
