Help! Cannot find listing.

I am quite new to ebay and I listed my bugaboo pink cameleon in prams and now I cannot find it in the listings when I look for it. Have I made some rookie error? I keep checking the listing and it seems ok. Advice welcome, thank you.

I've just done a search for bugaboo pink cameleon on ebay - can you give me any more hints as to which one it could be so I can tell you if it's there or not? (starting price, title, etc?)

FAQ · 31/10/2008 20:58

oh and how long ago did you list it? Sometimes take a little while for it to show up in listings

Listed about an hour ago and put a reserve price of £250 on it, thanks for your help.

bidders can't see your reserve price

misdee · 31/10/2008 21:04

have yu spelt the title right?

FAQ · 31/10/2008 21:04

ok - could just be that it's not showing yet - it will do give it time, I've found sometimes an item listed can be "found" within minutes, other times can take AGES.

misdee · 31/10/2008 21:06

also whats the item number and will check it over for you

FAQ · 31/10/2008 21:06

ah yes - just came back to ask what Misdee said

Thanks ladies. This is all new to me!

listing looks ok.

however, i would add more close up pictures using photobucket and HTML codes (free pics!). do close up of wheels, etc.

also if possible offer to box up and use a courier to send out which is fully insured. collection only limits your buyers.

i dont suppose you have any other colour fabrics as pink also puts off buyers.

No other colours I'm afraid, I love pink and nver thought about resale!
I'm a bit lazy with it all tbh and just want rid, it is taking up space in a small house. I don't know anything about photobucket, will inverstigate though.
Thanks for all your help, you always seem the buggy expert on these pages.

In your expert opinion do you think it will sell as it is for £250? That is all I want really.

OP posts:
misdee · 31/10/2008 21:21

wash every part possible. all the fabrics can be washed at 30 degrees (no fabric conditioner as otherwise the bugaboo swirl will peel off). rub down frame, wash wheels (yes really) and oil all moving parts (do you have the maintance kit?).

misdee · 31/10/2008 21:22

you should get £300-£350.

if i knew you were selling earlier i would buy it for myself as am having a girl. but already have my buggy sorted

Yes I have it...totally untouched!

FAQ · 31/10/2008 21:22

actually talking about buggy's - while Misdee is here and a captive audience (apologies for thread hi-jack)

Do you reckon a Hauck Infinity Esprit, with black puschair, red and cream car seat and carry cot, black cosy toes, 17 months old (at the moment) good condition (apart from having lost the button to do up the pocket at the back of the pushchair bit) would have a reasonable re-sale price??

misdee · 31/10/2008 21:23

have you tried the for sale boards on here though? its £5 for CAT facility, and a lot less fee's than ebay.

will also see if people i know are interested.

FAQ · 31/10/2008 21:23

actually I'm lying out my arse - it's a black carseat

misdee · 31/10/2008 21:24

£100 roughly FAQ. is that reasonable to you? i dont know what you paid, but have looked at these in the past, lovely little systems.

bamboostalks · 31/10/2008 21:24

Yes I have put it on here as I have cat.

hehe - well anything over erm.........FREE is reasonable to me - can't even remember what we paid for it, I remember going to kiddicare armed with the £500 sure start maternity grant beginning of last year, spent 3hours looking at systems, having gone with the intention of buying the bugaboo - decided it wasn't right so had to find something else, we filled the car to the brim with stuff

misdee · 31/10/2008 21:30

FAQ, keep it if you like it. you dont drive do you? a stroller wont be the same to push.

FAQ · 31/10/2008 21:38

sorry for hi-jacking bamboo

I do like it and no I don't drive, it's just it's so big, it sits in my (narrow) hallway all the time and it's starting to irritate me slightly having squeeze past it to answer the door (or people having to squeeze past it to get through..........I'm not being sizeist here, but I'm very glad that none of my friends are more than about size 16-18 - or they'd never get through - the gap is that small ).

The only place to put it once folded is the other end of the kitchen, and it's PITA trying to fold it, get it through 2 doorways (one with a stairgate on it) to put away.....

But then again I suppose I may find somewhere to live after Christmas when I move where that's not a problem......

Oh and if I'm going to see any friends and it involes a bus journey (visited Quadrophenia a week or so again and hope to repeat in the future, and also visit ShelleyLou often too) it's a nightmare to fold and put in the luggage bit if there's already a pushchair unfolded on there.

I know a stroller wouldn't be the same - had a cheap Toys'r'us one for DS3 when he was little and it just wasn't the same.

misdee · 01/11/2008 08:05

hmmm, i dont have that problem as have gap under my stairs to store my buggies.

bamboostalks, i may have found you a buyer for £250? would you take it off ebay for that amount, saving you fees? will double check for sure before you decide.
