Ok I recently got my laptop from freepay (pics in bragbag) and i though i was gonna sell it on ebay and make some nice profit (I spent 300$ 30$ times 10 refs on the site and the laptop has an [b58f58c8795]msrp[/b58f58c8795] of 749$)
I looked on the gateway site and it looks like gateway is givning 100$ off instantly the laptop and is offering a rebate also..... At the [b58f58c8795]absolute[/b58f58c8795] best the free laptop would sell for 600$ on ebay and make me 300$ profit.... Now there was a laptop i bought on ebay which was in PERFECT
(aside from dust there were no scratches or blemeshes on the laptop whatsoever..) condition for 400$ +20$ shipping
So i thought to myself... If i could sell my old laptop for near the same price i purchased it at i would be getting a free NEW laptop for 300$ insted of a USED laptop for 420$
I have money to burn from my various casino offers so I decided to list my old laptop on ebay today for shits and giggles.... IT WAS SOLD AND PAID FOR IN UNDER 12 HOURS..... Guess what "Buy it now" i set for the
laptop? 400$ with 20$ shipping....
I cant believe it was sold so fucking fast.... Should i have charged more money or should i just be happy i sold the damn thing for the same price i bought it at? Heres the ended auction...

You shouldn't have set a low buy it now. if you really want a buy it now, set it at $650 or so. Say in your listing an MSRP of $750. I think by people bidding, you would have gotten at least $500.

No no, the laptop from freepay has an msrp of 749$ the laptop i sold was a laptop i had bought from someone else off ebay for 400$ +20$ shipping
I just got a laptop from freepay so i sold the laptop i got from ebay for
420$

Oh, i was confused. Still should have set the buy it now higher, with a reserve of $400.
