Martin,
In general,
1) Get pictures of the items to post with the listing. I didn't see any on
the 400mm.
2) Figure out postage & insurance to the USA for the item. If the total is
not too big, you will encourage bidders.
3) Get some feedback track record, even if only by buying $5.00 items. The
major market for ebay is the USA and you are asking for a big leap of faith.
Send my money to Argentina, to a seller with no track record, and hope the
goods arrives! (Maybe you can solve some of this problem by using escrow on
big $$$ items.)
On the bellows, you started too high and are not likely to get $100 for it.
The Pentax bellows made for the past 25 or 30 years are a single rail. The
one you offer is really a quite old double rail. There is a single rail
bellows with screwmount fixtures and a single rail bellows A for K mount...
so try starting at $25 and put a reserve on it if you want. The screwmount
bellows lens would make it a better package as I haven't seen one of these on
ebay.
Combining the items as a package will make for better sales, but the price
you get will fall. It may only be 60% of what you would get individually.
But you are unhappy with how things are moving individually...
Regards, Bob S.

course.
- Sigma 24 2.8 ("Pentax-A compatible").
- Bellows with both mount kits (screwmount and K) and slide duplicator.
- Pentax-M 100 2.8
The questions:
1- I've put the bellows on eBay with no results (no bids at all). See it at
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1288921325
A friend of mine has a 100 4.0 Macro Bellows (with no focusing at all) lens.
Would this lens make the offer more interesting? How much would the "combo"
cost?
2- Some things (100 2.8, 24 2.8, 60 2.8 Macro, maybe a 28 2.8 Pentax-A) are
quite low priced for someone like me that doesn't live in the US (and has to
pay higher shipping fees, though usually not very high). Is it convenient to
make a "kit" with more than one lens? Or is it better to offer them
separately?
3- After two failures (bellows and 400 5.6 lens) on eBay with the debits on
mi credit card I am hesitating to continue with the system. Am I doing
something wrong or, as someone suggested me, I have to make my feedback from
nil up slowly? >>
