My dh decided to sell a record on ebay that he got given when he worked for a well known singer/song writer. It is a rare EP and only 200 were ever made apparently and it's in mint condition (a very famous singer!). Anyway, the point is that we can find nothing like it on line anywhere else and we have no idea of price. So, he put it on there yesterday for 35 and immediately we have been inundated with people wanting to know the "Buy it Now" price. He didn't have a clue and could find nothing to compare it with. So, he said (jokingly!) 75 plus postage to one of them in an email. This guy has now said immediately "yes" and asked him to post the Buy it Now price at a certain time tonight and "I'll be waiting" so he can snap it up. My gut feeling (given there are 2 others showing keen interest) and 5 "watching" it is that it is worth more hence he's keen but would obviously kick ourselves in the foot if that is not the case and he's just a big fan! WWYD?? As it has no offers yet and 5 more days, we could "up" the price on ebay perhaps. Or bite his hand off?? Thanks!

I think he is trying to bite your hand off! I would wait it out for auction end/up the price.

Hmm. I'd be inclined to get it valued. You'll kick yourself if its worth £500.

Although I am not an ebayer! Just thinking through the psychology of it Smile

Agree with squirrel

Don't post a buy it now! You are under no obligation to and I bet it will sell for way over 35 quid.

trixymalixy · 07/05/2014 17:20

Noo, just let it go to auction, or have it valued properly.

Queen0fFeckingEverything · 07/05/2014 17:26

Who is the singer anyway

I don't think you can do a 'Buy it Now' unless you have completed a certain number of transactions.

if you sell for that amount do make sure it is adequately insured - special delivery or courier.

But I would cancel the auction and get it properly valued tbh.
