Well, should we laugh or should we feel the pain of this seller, a school in East Stroudsburg, Pa., that sold a trailer, owned by the school on eBay with a starting bid of US$1 and only attracted one bid and closed the transaction at US$1 only.
The school said it was a newbie mistake and the trailer is actually worth US$10,000 which they hoped they would get but eBay says the sale is final and that's how much they will be getting, just US$1.
I guess all of us eBay sellers were newbies before and made our mistakes, some more costly than others. If you have read my blog in the really early days of my eBaying adventure, you would know of my mistake as well. It was a great lesson to learn, truly, but we move on and just hope never to repeat such mistakes again.
I am sure this school has more than one trailer and the next one they put on eBay will surely not be US$1 only!
