Here's how to NOT SELL on eBay. Seller got $9 for his 620. Mistakes he made:
#1 local pickup only. If you want to require local pickup, then forget ebay and use C/L or whatever. The power of ebay is getting access to a nationwide, or world wide market. Local pickup means you just get the local market.
#2 auction, started at $1. Much better off Buy it now at what ever price you want.
#3 lousy ad, crappy pictures. Dented DT, with no picture showing dent.

ebay sends you a 1099? They are reporting your yard sale as income?
