First, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I dunno how well you know how to use search functions on eBay, soooo did you make sure to search completed items rather than just looking at what\'s available now? A common eBay tactic is to bid within the last few minutes (or seconds) of an auction ending, and this often results in the price being really low until the last couple minutes.
Second, what are you selling? I hate to generalize but historical minis rarely go for much, unless they are painted extremely well. Fantasy and Sci Fi can vary a lot depending on how popular the particular army etc. Unfortunately non-GW stuff doesn\'t do all that well with the possible exception of Confrontation.
Third, whether its worth it or not depends on what you\'re looking to get. First, eBay is pretty much it in terms of an auction site. It gets the most traffic, period. You could advertise on hundreds of sites and not get the same exposure you\'d get on eBay.
Finally, its as finn7 said, the most inportant thing when selling on eBay is reputation. Unfortunately for the most part no matter how good your pieces are, they are not likely to go for high prices at first. People are reluctant to bid big money when they aren\'t sure what kind of quality they\'re getting. This is why good pictures are extremely important. People are willing to risk more money if they think the mini will look good. Forget selling it for much if pictures are blurry. When you have lots of repeat buyers, you\'re likely to get folks in bidding wars (which really drives up the price) because they know what to expect from you. Anyways, I hope this helps!
