The auction site isn’t the free for all it used to be and you’ve got to have something good to get it sold. Here are a few ideas for what NOT to waste your time on
VERY Used Merchandise: Unless we’re talking about a Tiffany lamp, no one wants to buy your years old, heavily used item. If it’s not practically new you’re going to have a hard time unloading it so think twice about putting it up for sale.

Items Too Late: We’re talking about tickets and items that are only useful for a certain period – you’ve got time this out. Put them up at least a month ahead of time so potential buyers won’t be scared off by shipping times
