I buy (and occasionally sell) a lot of things on the bay of evil and it never ceases to amaze me how little effort some people put into their advert. I always take time to have a good range of photos, as opposed to one, or two, badly out of focus shot that were taken on a potato instead of a camera. I write a full description, taking time to make sure that spelling, grammar, and punctuation are as good as I can get them. I put in web links to the manufacturer's original pages on the product, if they are available.
It normally only takes me a few moments to create a listing, and on quite a few occasions I have sold things for more than I paid for them after having a couple of year's usage/fun out of them. I often take a chance and have a very low start, with no reserve, and whilst this sometimes causes a few nail-biting moments, it can really drag in the bidders and give them a sense of ownership of an item.
