New to selling on Ballreviews.com
« on: October 29, 2009, 08:25:28 AM »
Hi,
I have a couple of lightly used bowling balls I want to see on this site.  I sold many of my used balls eBay, but usually don't get enough for them.
Does anyone have any tips before I put my bowling balls out here for sale?

I will have pics, specs, and games bowled with my ad.

Thanks!

Outta the box you may have to be willing to send the balls with some "good faith gestures" on your part. It's tough to try to gain trust right away. Posting an ebay account doesn't really help much either 'cause how do we really know that it's YOUR account?  Sorry for the cynical views, bro. I truly hope you're able to work with the folks on the site.  I believe you'll figure out who's good & bad over the coming months, as well.

If you weren't selling them for what you thought they were worth on eBay, good luck getting much more for them here.

Post them and see if you get any bites. That's the only way you'll tell. At least here there's no ebay fees and you'll never have to sell a ball for a very low winning bid. You can also check out the buyer seller feedback forum to see who's good and bad. People aren't shy here to tell you who's a deadbeat.

My experience is that you have  more sophisticated buyers here than on ebay.  Don't expect to get more here than ebay.

Those that can do. Those that can't complain. Pimpin ain't easy, but it's mandatory.

Most things we like, we don't need. Most things we need, we don't like. Don't confuse your likes with your needs.

Your right, I shouldn't expect to get more here than on eBay.
What I think I'll get here is if people looking for a specific ball and if it's a fair price.  Otherwise we can always negotiate one.
Thanks again.
