That's what, 66 items? That's quite a few.
Bear in mind Robbie's eBay theories:
1-You, as a seller, will think the item is in better condition than the buyer will, unless it's new in the box.
2-The buyer thinks you are a store with $1M set aside just to give discounts, pay return shipping, etc.
3-
caveat emptor is a completely foreign idea to someone who buys something sight unseen without asking questions.
4-Many buyers think "auction" means "make low-ball offer."
5-While you may know the exact mileage on a component, the buyer, having never seen it, will undoubtedly think it's more.
6-Every transaction on eBay is someone's attempt to make money, so don't approach it as anyone doing you a favor.
