Question for the Booksellers on eBid

[leadhillsonline]

Do most of the booksellers here look at the wanteds? Do you (sellers) think it's worthwhile to put a want list for books on? There always seem to be quite a few wanteds under books, but am curious to know if the sellers check that, or just leave it to the buyers to search their auctions?

No I never look at the Wanteds, I forget they are there.

I made my 2nd sale from a wanted, so it's worth looking. and it doesn't take too long, as you can see which categories have anything on it

i check the wanteds at least twice a week made a sale by doing so

Hello sweet boy! I've looked over the wanteds a few times now too, and there seem to be quite a few people making offers and selling to the buyers there. Think it's a good idea to check, for now anyway, as there aren't that many listings to look through and it doesn't take much time.

Hi klj, just as a point of interest. I was checking the wanted ads last week and noticed a guy who collected cards as it happens I have a catalogue of this manufacturers cards and the guy is interested and looks as tho' it may end in a sale, fingers crossed. From that I think it can be taken as read that the wanted ads really do work.
You are right it really does not take long and if it results in the occassional sale it makes it all worthwhile.

Looks like more and more sellers are finding sales in the wanteds. How did it go Bidnwin?

Hi klj, thanks for asking, heard nothing yet but hoping it may sell if we can reach a suitable price, I keep checking the wanted ads, only takes a couple of minutes and you never know.

Reading other threads it can be seen that sales are generally on the up, it appears that sales are generally from the BIN listings ( must upgrade to seller + ).
The increase in the listings numbers certainly are rocketing and in turn that will increase sales. Feel good about the future and I know from a poll I am running that 57.14% of the posts on that thread appear to have been buyers on the other side so that looks good and things generally do seem to be improving but I am not desperate to sell and am prepared to wait and build my listings, loads of books n' things, lol.

Good luck with your listings

I like to check the "wanteds" a few times a month. You never know when you might have something someone is looking but you just haven't gotten around to lisitng it.
