Here here. And please let it be a photo of your *actual* powerbook if
possible... I'm sick of that same Apple promo photo of the 2400c. How do I
know if you even have the thing?
Regarding the timing, I'll concur with the Sunday 7PM Eastern
recommendation. I remember hearing somewhere that this was the highest
volume time on eBay. It also helps to make yourself available to
last-minute questions (check e-mail frequently during the last hours of
bidding).
There have been great comments from the listers who have chimed in. No one
has mentioned this yet--but your feedback rating will affect your final bid
price too. I would not even bother trying to sell until you have at least a
10 or better. And if you have a good feedback rating, mention that
(something like "Over 160 positive transactions on eBay with no complaints).
Quote shipping/handling up front (at least shipping w/in the US). And
willingness to use an online escrow service can give the bidder confidence
too. People seem to think this is a hassle (I did before I tried it), but
for something like a computer, it can provide great peace of mind.
