neil Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 The way i see it is this, i will happily list somthing that is worth £100 on ebay for £1 no reserve as i know it will fetch a good price, any other auction sites i would basically put a starting bid somewhere around my asking price and be happy to get just one bid on it. I've been a member since you advertised the site on the bbs's but havent brought or sold anything there yet. I suppose it all goes back to the traffic/regestered members thing. This £20 deal sounds good to me, is that £20 per item or am i reading it wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil, Of the two methods of listing, the second is definately preferable on gundeals as we dont have the volume of users to generate a bidding war.. Re the £20, the way it works is this: When you register on gundeals you are assigned a credit account against which all fees are charged. Currently the opening accounts are set at £0.00 so all fees accrued are payable by the account holder. For a standard listing (ie not Bold, highlighted or featured) the fee would be 3% of the final selling price (assuming the item is sold) if it isnt then for a standard listing no fee would be payable. My offer to PW Forum members is to offer to add £20 to the credit account, so based on sale price fees of 3% this means £600 worth of items could be sold without any fees becoming payable. If however you wanted to add enhancements to the auction, these would be deducted from the £20, which would reduce the credit balance. Details of all the normal fees can be found here: http://www.gundeals.co.uk/displaynews.php?id=19 I hope that answers your question..

GunDealsUK Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 As part of our efforts to widen the visibility of gundeals (esp. as many members hadn't heard of us) we have installed a new reciprocal link system. Of course PW is already listed, but if any members have home pages, or belong to other clubs/associations, please make use of the links facility. You can find it here: http://www.gundeals.co.uk/links Thanx Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
