The starting price should be the minimum you would like for it.

When we sold biggish stuff like that I thought, well, if someone comes and takes it it'll save me going to the tip, and if they pay me anything it's a bonus.
So we started at £1 to cover ebay fees and hassle, put Cash on Collection Only and let the bidding take it up to whatever the market would bear.

Some things went for the minimum, some things fetched prices beyond our wildest dreams.
Make sure it ends at a decent time though - you want to catch last-minute bidders to push the price up.

Thanks for advice so far.
I couldn't put it too low. I would rather keep it than sell it for a pound.

well, put it on at £20 or whatever you could bear to part with it for, and if no-one buys it, you've only lost the listing fee.

Would also suggest free ads in local newspaper.

Good point.Thanks.
Will look into free ads too.
