Just a bit stunned really, we had a cancelled order of a sheepskin numnah. It was a fully lined and trimmed top of the range jobby. These things are not cheap to make and since we sell masses more of the lambswool than the sheepskin it could be sitting around in stock for a while.

So I thought I would ebay it just to cover costs. Started the auction at £49 (no reserve) and thought that made it pretty good value given that it costs £98 RRP usually. Not a single bid

Only 5 x watchers so not a lot of interest either. Not sure whether to relist it it or not really? Are things selling generally do you think?
 
Just wondered if that would make it too late to be bought as a Christmas present. The listing would end Thursday if I relist today.
 
What about offering the option of first class or next day delivery if they want to apy the extra to garentee (sp) delivery for Christmas.

I wouldn't say that's too late.
Is your item in an auction? I have found that items up for auction that don't sell then sell if you put them as buy it now's with the best offer option.

Hmm thats interesting, might try that. Yes it was an auction jobby. Everything has always sold really well before, I'm a bit stunned that it didnt go

She's the sweetest cat, but her one failing is
her skill at hunting, which in itself would be fine, but she feels
the need to bring everything to me....alive

I think that with ebay firstly, people are generally swayed by a brand - well known/popular names sell better - don't know if yours is branded. If it isn't then someone is taking a risk as they can't actually see the quality and will wonder why they don't know the name. Secondly, a low start price often kick starts the auction. Good luck!!
