We just sold some stuff on ebay.
It ended up going way too cheaply.
People may not be listing because people aren't buying.
The only thing that did well was a scale model.

A lot of stuff went for the opening bid and a lot of other stuff didn't
go at all.

Swap meets seem to be the same way...No one's buyin. Not a lot of
good deals to be found, like it used to be.
I noticed the same thing with my amateur radio swap meets.
