You need to put something absolutely awe-inspiring on there at first - try fridge magnets, or car bumper stickers or gloves...... some p-rat is bound to bid a knicker for them

Do not complain about no bids untill the last hour of the last day.
If there's interest, that is when the competitive bids will occur.
Sometimes it happens in the last two minutes, by the snipers.

Best of luck to ya.

As above, it's quite normal not to receive many (or even any) bids until the last few minutes. Experienced users know that there's no point bidding until the last minute, because it only pushes up the final selling price.

Search 'completed items' and pick any reasonably valuable item, then click to view the bids it received. Chances are that most of the serious bids were placed within the last few minutes.

What you might find is that over the duration of the listing, people add your items to their 'watched items' list. On your 'My Ebay' page you can see the number of people who are watching each of your auctions - chances are one or two of these will place bids.

I've bought LOADS of mountain bike stuff, usually, (but not always), new, at about HALF the best price I could get on the net.

Just befor Christmas, I had a new Scandium frame at half price.
