Anyway, something like that is only useful to 2 people:
1. Someone who has an XC and wants a cracked grille with non-original lights in it
2. Someone else who wants it to put on their BA Fairmont, just to be different.

mate dont worry about the lights or the fact that has two small crack's it a gs grill and they are supposed to be hard too get hold of the fact that it has been there for a fortnight without a bid is what annoy's me considering there was another up there with 18 bid's on it and it sold for over $280 so where does that leave my grill in the rubbish bin as far as the small crack's go you can't even notice them that's why ebay shites me

[xe351]

get it plastic welded, should help the sale. ebay, egay, epray etc. Or try sticking it up 2 weeks later, its worked for me

[BlueKoop]

Just some advice, next time list it differently. Instead of

" xc gs twin light grill grill in fair condition "

Try

" FORD XC GS Twin light Grille, grill, Falcon, GT, GXL, 351, 302 "

You will get alot more hits and potential buyers that way because more people will see it searching for other stuff.

That sh!ts me when sellers do that. If I'm searching for "GT" parts and something that is not even slightly resembling a GT part comes up I usually send the seller an email thanking them for wasting my time and hope they only get $2 for their crappy part.

I don't have a BA, but if it will fit on my AU I might consider it to be original!

/end sarcasm

[JG66ME]

I thought your listing was ok Bob. Putting GXL and Cobra/GT etc shits some people so I wouldnt do it but it works for some. Its just luck of the draw. Also, never call it quits untill the very end. A lot of buyers use Hammer Snipe or such like and you can get huge bids come in in the last 7 seconds.

I would buy it but I already have a good grill and no car to put it in.

Just try again.

[bob 351]

i think i will put it up one more time but i might get it welded first then see what happen's also i think i might take the spotlight's out then see what happen's

[S3SR]

mate start bids at 99cents....you get alot more people that way and the bids keep going till someone hits their target... just imagine seeing $150 oh thats a bit much or seeing 15 bids between 5 people...obviously gonna change someones mind.

also make it look mint, clean the thing, polish it up or whatever....1hrs work may save you one more relisting

Agreed. Starting your stuff at $0.99 means that you will get the best price anyone is willing to pay, people might not want to pay $150 unless they were driven up to that price or well above it by the sense of competition.

However, there is a bit of a gamble as you may end up getting much less than your desired $150 for it. You can always have the "I reserve the right to withdraw from auction" stipulation but unfortunately you cannot cancel the auction when there are less than 24 hours to the end and there are bids. And the final 24 hours, particularly the final few minutes, are when the majority of the bidding happens.

When I sold some of my old crap on eBay a couple of months ago, (game boy, cd walkman, etc.) I started all the auctions at $0.99, 2 of 4 items went for more than I expected, 1 went for what I expected, and 1 went for about half of what I expected. So yes it is a gamble.

You provided lots of pictures which is good but try fixing up the grammar in your title and description a bit too, good luck! :

Shits me too ... but thats the way of ebay. He's trying to sell something, not make friends. The more people that see it the better.

[bob 351]

i thought a starting bid of $150 was fair maybe i am wrong seen other grill's go for a lot more than that and in worse condition

[Nate07]

Why dont you start the auctions at say $1.00, not only does it attract bidders but you'll probably get a pretty penny for it.

Nah, I tried that once ! I started the bidding for my tremec 5 speed at one dollar once ! And at that stage ebay wouldnt let buy it now prices to most people. The auction ended and the highest bid was $502.49. The buyer was straight in with his message off how to pay ! He wasnt happy that i told him he was dreaming . No F%#(&@G way was I selling a $2500 gear box for $500 ! If they dont want to pay what I want for something , GARNGITFLICKED !!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha, Thats why you start the bidding at $1 but set your reserve price around $130 if you want $150 for the grill. That way people will still bid but it wont sell unless it reachs the reserve price
