I tried to sell a "nearly new" external SCSI Jaz Drive with cable, Adaptec controller, 10 2-gb media (personally checked by me for readability), 4 1-gb media (ditto). I pay shipping. Opening price for the whole shebang: $125.

Bids: zero.

Eventually went into the trash bin. Understand: each 2-gb medium (disk) originally cost ~$100...

You started the bidding too high, a common mistake. You could have started it below $10 and let the marketplace decide what it was worth. It was not worth $125.

"You started the bidding too high, a common mistake. You could have started it below $10 and let the marketplace decide what it was worth. It was not worth $125."

Evidently. Which was why it went in the trash.

As I pointed out, a single Jaz media, new in wrapper, was ~$100. Not worth $125? Hell, the controller and cable were worth that much.

And no, I would not sell and ship the entire lot if the high bid were $15.
