How not to sell Hammers

Todd Hughes

>really a good example of how NOT to sell a tool on ebay. start the auction off at a very high price which is sure to put people off. Have a photo of two other hammers in the auction which you are not selling. Sure to confuse slow head bidders.Heck I still get guys that want 2 tongs because I say I am selling a "pair" of tongs and just show and describe one. Have a single little poor photo that hardly shows the head. If I am paying $400 for a hammer I want to see good photos showing it better. Very week description, tells us where he bought it 20 years ago, hey who cares! I want to know how big the head is and how long the handle, is the handle original and what condition is the head in, etc. etc.. Think that head is really hand made? I can't tell but I would doubt it not with an adze eye like that.....Amazes me but somtimes it seems like people go out of thier way not to sell the stuff they put on ebay.....Todd
