Reselling an item on e bay for higher price

[Lockdoctor]

There shouldn't be a problem assuming the item is as described. I doubt a buyer will even check your feedback history and find out you have bought the item for a bargain. It makes sense to have more than one Ebay account to prevent potential buyers finding out how much you have paid for an item you are selling.

tx for advice, folks, will consider options.

Not a problem, thousands do it every day, individuals and company's, that's what makes the world go round. If you under price your item on an auction site, you have only yourself to blame, there are safe guards like "reserved price" etc. so use them. As for company's that buy cheap sell dear try " ANTIQUE DEALERS "

sod em, sell it, its yours to do what you want with, it may ruffle a few but somebody may want it.

 

The best advice.

I'd sell it and not give it a second thought. Use your photos though.

Is that a dig at penny flower.

A buyer cannot determine the actual item you purchased through feedback left by someone who sold you something so - no problem.

Generally items go for less (sometimes considerably so) on collection-only for obvious reasons, and if you re-market it with a delivery service then you should expect a higher price as you will have a far larger number of potential buyers.

 

Make sure the description is accurate highlighting any flaws etc with good photos, and give good timely communications to the buyer.

 

The winning bidder or buyer will be satisfied to have won it at the price offered, even if you obtained it free.
