Here's a suggestion. I would NOT use a Reserve auction. Instead, start the bidding at the lowest price you can live with selling the saw for.
Also take the needed time to promote your item. This means accurate description, good pictures, and a little story to tell potential buyers how the saw is coming up for sale.
Also tell the buyers about payment, shipping, etc, in detail, and that you will stand behind the purchase.
Doing these things will get you MORE money every time.
Here is an example of the info from our latest action, I sold two of these saws and got TOP dollar for them:
Echo CS-301 Chain Saw, arborist, climbing saw
Echo CS-301 top handle chain saw. Excellent condition, original bar and chain, has less than 2 hours running time, apprx 3 tankfuls of fuel. We purchased two of these saws to clear some property when we built our new house. We did most of the clearing with our larger saws, and just trimmed a few limbs and small branches with the top handle saws. This saw starts on 1-2 pulls and runs flawlessly. Small, light weight and powerful, with a commercial grade high torque engine. These saws are among the lightest in the industry, and a favorite among professional tree services. The saw is equipped with a lanyard ring.
The saw will arrive razor sharp and ready to add gas/oil mix, and bar oil and start cutting.
Buyer pays the actual shipping charges, we aren't trying to make $20 to $30 OR MORE with unrealistic shipping rates. We have a UPS commercial account, the saw will ship within 1-2 days of payment in full.
We accept personal checks, money orders or Pay Pal.
We pride ourselves on 100 percent positive feedback, if not satisfied with this item, or it is not exactly as described, simply return it in the same condition as recieved for a full refund. Thanks and good luck bidding!
I hope this helps some. BTW, I have two Echo 510's, they are excellent saws, close to the Husky 55 in power. They are very fuel efficient saws, with excellent power to weight ratios. I don't own any saws that will cut more wood on less fuel!......Cliff
