What price to start a listing for a buggy ?

I have no idea what to list the buggy for ? What kind of price do you normally start from ? I paid about £350 - 8 months ago for it and have moved locations and house and need to sell.

I don't want to put a really low price but think listing tonight will be a good time as the insertion fees are waived. I also don't know what to do about the postage. Will it be okay to put local pick up only and then mention that if the buyers want to arrange their own courier that I will make sure all the items are in their original box ? Help. Never done a huge item like this before.

Always try to offer postage - even on larger items. You will get many more bidders.

I would charge no more than about £15 for postage and think of the the very least you would happy to get for it.

Don't list t 99p - you might get that!

Don't price it too high - people want a bargain!

I am not sure how much it would cost to courier the item, the item goes into two boxes. How much should I allow for courier ?

Start it on the minimum price you would like for it, its free listing today o this will cost you no extra, send by parcel force which will cost around 15.00.

You will get far more money if you can post it. Potentially you will get a whole country worth of buyers looking rather than say 15 miles worth.
It's very easy to get boxes and courier a pushchair, and some companies do it very cheaply. I always start bidding at 99p as I find if I start higher, for eg £150, it goes for less at the end. At 99p, people think they could get a bargain and tend to bid earlier, and bid higher.
Make sure your listing is good, with the maker and name of the pushchair, as imo people looking for pushchairs know what they are looking for

Well I have listed it, but nothing is showing up at all, keep refreshing the section but no change ???

I am going to see if I get anyone interested, have offered to drive myself up to 50 miles radius for delivery or meet up and will look into courier for the two parcel boxes if no interest.

Thanks for help and advice, as it is free listing - I will see if anyone interested, I can always reduce it next time ??
