The Auction Expert Selling Guide #4
Cameras, Computers & Electronics

Cameras, computer equipment, stereos, VCRs, PDAs, and other consumer electronics are popular items on eBay. The Auction Expert accepts a wide range of these items, so long as they meet our criteria:
  1. The item must have an estimated eBay value of at least $50.
  2. The item must be in good working order (or have valuable parts).
  3. The item must not be restricted by eBay.

Generally, the newer the item, the better it sells; in fact, many people sell brand new, unused equipment at bargain prices on eBay.

The best-selling items are those that:
  • include all of the original accessories (cables, power cords, cases, etc.) and manuals
  • come with their original boxes and packing materials (e.g., styrofoam blocks)
  • are in brand new or nearly-new condition, or are older, rare items that are valuable to collectors
  • are clean and free from any damage
Computer technology advances rapidly, and sometimes an item that was state-of-the-art just a few years ago is now obsolete; this is true for many items like computer CPUs and monitors.

Other times an item will appreciate in value because it was unusual and is prized by collectors; a camera from the 1960s may be worth much more than the original purchase price.

We invite you to call us at 1-877-SELL-4-YOU (1-877-735-5496) to discuss your item(s) and arrange for pick-up.
