Question
I have just begun selling on Ebay and I love it!  My question is regarding collector plates and china.  Is it best to sell them as a set or sell them individually?

Your response is greatly appreciated.

Best regards

Answer
In my personal experience, I find it's best to sell items separately, rather than in a set.  Many collectors are looking to complete their own collection by purchasing one or two, and rarely a complete set.   In addition, this allows you to set a lower purchase price and make it more advantageous to the buyer.

I hope this helps your Ebay endeavors.
Please feel free to ask more questions as the
situation arises.

Expertise

I`ve been involved with Ebay practically since it`s inception. I`ve spent a lot of free time in helping people find the answer to problems as well as selling techniquest on the Ebay system. I`m more than comfortable with the Ebay system, it`s rules and policies and the why`s and wherefores of it`s day to day operation and the operations of both a seller and buyer.

Experience

Been a consistent seller on Ebay since 1997 and have been regarded as a 'source' for information on Ebay itself.
(Under Expertiese, it should be techniques, not techniquest...sorry bout that....)
