Title: Vintage Candy Machine and a Vintage Velvet tobacco sign
Post by: barker2124 on October 12, 2010, 02:45:01 pm
Need help in deciding if the price on these items are resonable or should i change the prices on them one is an old candy machine and the other is a vintage velvet tobacco sign. both are at Junkables.com (http://www.junkables.com) the candy machine is in the collectibles category and the velvet sign is in the advertising category.
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Some concerns; any traffic on the site? maybe the right buyers are not finding your items; local pickup, no shipping - limits buyers to your local area so you may as well put these on craigslist.  I do not know where you are located but there may be no local desire to buy these items.  Your market may be in a different geographical area.

I agree, Craigslist has lots more traffic. Do you also have them listed on CL? I think they are priced just right, I might lower the price on the machine to $100 but $125 is still a good deal. I have an inkling the sign would bring more than $65 on ebay, might be worth a shot. I know shipping is annoying to deal with but it would be worth it if the sign got a good amount. The machine would be harder to ship and may not be worth it.

Ditto what wayward said.

I personally had never seen this site before....so there is always something new to see!

Recommend Craigslist as well.  Also....as much as some people get miffed with Ebay....it still works!
