Snowflake,
I have skis on ebay right now! Funny you should ask... I joined ebay a long time ago and bought a few things over the years. That helped with the "points" and to gain some feedback. Then I sold some fairly inexpensive things like small antiques / garage sale "finds" to get some "Seller" ratings and feedback. Now I have skis up there that have exceeded my reserve by over $100, and there are still a few days to go. I think ebay is a great venue for us to sell things that might not get a lot of exposure through Craigslist and such. And it is a great way to get the full market value of the item, rather someone lowballing you locally.
I am sure you could sell gear without having any "points" or feedback, I see it happen all the time. Just take some good pictures, accruately describe your stuff, the more info the better. People will come!
Just my thoughts, good luck to you!

I sold an old computer a few years ago, and recently sold something that someone else might term a "collectible," but I considered junk and was ready to throw away. The whole process was fairly easy and painless, and I walked away with a few bucks. If you don't have a Paypal account, I recommend setting one up. It makes getting paid a lot easier.
trouble, what kind of skis are you selling? Just curious.

Sorry no skis, but a wind-stopper jacket, a sweater type jacket, climbing harness...etc.
Thanks for the input. I have bought a few things from e bay in the past and I do have a pay pal account. From what you ladies said it sounds pretty easy so I think I"m going to give it a try.
PS. I could be selling some skis later in the season. maybe January or so, I'll let you gals know first though.

I'm selling Volkl Attiva 5*'s that I got for a lucky price this summer and are too short for me at 154. I skied them 3 times this year and decided that I needed to get something longer, even though these are top of the line and sooooooo nice. Nicer than I could afford to buy new at retail any time soon, for sure. Getting them cheap & selling them means I can afford to buy something that really works for me. I'm resourceful.
In light of the sale, and anticipating funds coming soon, I just scored a new pair with a slightly bigger waist from someone over at Epic, 163 Head i.M 72's that I think will be a darn good groomer ski.... for those few non-powder days here in Colorado!
I won't mention the fatter ski (s)...

I've sold various things on e-bay, including ski jackets. It is helpful to measure the jacket (length, chest, etc.) in addition to posting the size, as not all sizes are the same between different brands. For ski boots, the inside of the boot should be measured from the toe to the heel, and that length should be given in either inches or centimeters along with the boot size. There are charts on the internet to convert the mondo size to US sizes. I generally find that with anything on e-bay, the more detail given, the better.

I sell stuff on eBay on a semi-regular basis. I've sold golf clubs, a mountain bike, inline skates, ski boots, and need to sell my old Volkl Energy 320's too. Timing is everything. Now is probably a great time to sell skis on eBay with the season getting underway. Check out other seller's auctions with similar or the same gear. If it is flooded with auctions and they few or no bids on the exisiting ones, you might want to wait.
If you have something that another person wants, it won't matter much about your feedback score. I've purchased from people with low scores before. Negative feedback is worse than no feedback.
