Hi there!

I'm a total forum noob. I'm usually one of those lazy guys that just read but unfortunately never take the effort to actually post something. However, I recently had a change of heart and decided to participate more eagerly in the whole forum thing, among others by selling some stuff. So a few questions popped up:

1. Seeing as I have no credit what so ever, what is the best way to introduce yourself, to gain some trust? I have a few business transactions on the way, if they finish I guess I could include them in my signature, as I have seen with many others, but are there other ways?

2. If I decide to start a selling topic, what would be the best way to determine the value of the toys? Searching the forum helps but usually the search results show toys that are already sold, and hence bear the "SOLD" tag instead of the price. So can I conclude that the ebay search option "finished offers" is my best option?

3. The infamous picture posting... If I decide to show off or sell something, what is the best way to do this? For example, I have a set to sell. The set consists of various toys, which I each carefully photograffed from multiple angles. To save space I only want to put a picture of the set on the topic, and a link to the rest of the individual pics. What method and server would you recommend?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Grtz, Wesley aka Psyko

First and foremost, welcome to the boards!

1) The best way to gain trust, and such, is to just contribute to the boards... wether it be commenting, debating, sharing, the list never ends. Just hang out and have fun. Get to know your fellow boardies, and feel free to ask 'em questions, advice, etc.

2) If you do indeed plan on selling on the boards, remember that no auction style sales are permitted and you must always post a set price for the items you have up for sale on these boards. As far as value... take some time to do some research here and on the web. Ask some boardies for some advice and suggestions. You can also check ebay, but most times the pricing will definitely be a bit outrageous. if at all possible, price things fairly, for the buyer and of course yourself.

3) For images, if you're selling a lot of multiple items, a group shot would be good, but also some detail shots of the items included in the set. Of course of there are too many photos, you can also post a link for folks to go to check 'em out.

If you're unfamiliar with posting images on these boards, you can post your images by using an online image hosting site.

Just remember, if you are unclear on things, be sure to ask some folks on the boards, i am sure they will be happy to help out. There are many ways to ensure a positive sale transaction, so be sure to research these ways on the boards.

Alrighty, hope that helps a bit. Feel free to holler when ever you need assistance.

Beyond posting, it's always good to be a good buyer also. Selling is going to be easier if you've had previous transactions, even if you were the buyer. if you've acted as a seller on other venues- whether eBay or another forum- it can also help to point to other people that can vouch for you in other places. Good luck and welcome!

For some reason, they hid the control panel in your message box when they redid the boards a year or so ago. Confusing for sure but welcome aboard!

Indeed, not an ideal place for the user control panel but i have hollered at the tech dudes, so hopefully this gets switched up sooner than later.
