Hi All,
I have a question about relisting on ebay if your bear does not sell. Do most of you relist immediately or do you wait? What is your thinking with the way that you relist? My bear that Scott listed for me did not sell now I am not sure when to relist it. I am not sure if I should wait until after Christmas to relist so that if anyone wants to spent Christmas money. Also will everyone be busy with Christmas that I should wait a week or so to relist? What is everyone's thinking?
Thanks,
Donna
I would wait until after Xmas now Donna - i think that everyone is too busy and probably broke too! Pop him back on after when folks have their money to spend!
Merry Christmas Donna

I'm no help.... sometimes I wait... sometimes I relist immediately. Both methods sometimes sell, sometimes don't
as it' christmas this weekend i would say wait till after xmas !!
What Pen and Pip said.
Oh dear, says she who is just about to list a bear this evening
I was thinking about this. Although I have been not so much as busy, but under the weather (only a bad cold) I've managed to finish a raccoon. I suppose there will be loads of bear people off for the holidays wanting a bear fix? Could be worth it for us. Still I need to get some photos done, and the shopping and other things... Achoo!!!

Donna, I really don't think there is any particular protocol that works for relisting. Selling a bear soley depends on that certain 'right' person to see him/or her. It only takes one person to adopt a critter.
When I have something that does not sell I do not immediately relist. I don't want to appear desperate for a sale. When the auction is over I don't want a potential buyer to think I will relist right away at a lesser price. I don't like to play games with bears. When I relist, I wait while or I list the bear on my website for retail. On ebay I place a reserve less than retail which is incentive for a posible buyer to bid now.
Heres an example: I recently listed my Clause bear on ebay but he did not hit reserve. I waited a few weeks and relisted with a buy-it-now price( same as reserve) so he could be sold in time for Christmas... He sold right away. The right person was looking. That's all it takes. That certain someone has to be on ebay looking.........
