Okay, so I'm going to list my used 4gig iPod Mini(green) on ebay, and was wondering if there's any quirks I can use to make it sell better?

There's a smal but not too noticable dent right of the click wheel and one pretty gross but not too bad scratch on the back.

Will I get more if I include unused earbuds, itrip, belt clip? etc?

Whats a good starting price, reserve(if any), and shipping price?

I talked to GoofyGarber but would like to get a bunch of opinions so I can use the median and start it up.

(Also, 1 day auction or 3 day auction)

In general, studies have shown that no reserve, starting your auction at $0.99, and a flat shipping rate lead to the highest closing prices. Also, I think longer auctions tend to do better than shorter ones.

3day start at .01, no reserve. Include the earbuds and itrip.

lmfao? i dont think this thread is that funny.

do a 3 day auction starting at .99 and flat shipping. include lots of pics. end the auction at either 10-11am or 7-9pm during the week.

thats too much for an ipod mini. $7 at the most. if people see that you are overcharging shipping they will think you are deceiving them in other ways too.

Well I'm shipping it in the original square box so it's expensive for me to ship. Also, the other ipods there are $20+ shipping

The shipping price doesn't get charged with fees. Having a high shipping ($20) just means people will bid less, and it will even out but end in fewer fees.
