Picked up a small box of men's jewelry today at a sale along with some coins. Took the box home and my wife went through it. She remarked that the 2 NRA pins would sell right away on ebay.

Well, I already had an NRA belt buckle so I decided to list the 3 items together as a lot this afternoon.

Not 5 minutes later, the lot had already sold. A personal record for me. Pretty cool.
 

At least it gave you little time to grow attached to the item. My personal best is 41 minutes.
 

That's great! My best time is literally from pressing submit on listing to checking My eBay. Had to be less than 2 mins.
 

I never see something selling fast as a good thing because it usually means you could have got more.

Agree completely but this is not always the case sometimes the right person just saw it at the right time! Timing isn't everything it's the only thing!

So how much did these sell for jersey you didn't say?
 

Nice job!

My personal best has been while I was revising the description of the item after I hit the submit button. Two minutes, maybe? I've had this happen on three items, two which were priced at the top of the market, and one that I sold far too cheap!

I ALWAYS research my items thoroughly before pricing them. I always use BIN with free shipping. I usually price my items just a hair under the lowest priced items that are currently for sale or have recently been completed.

It was only $30. I figured $15 for the buckle, $10 for the pin, and the 3rd pin was a "freebie". Then $5 for shipping/fees "built in" to the price.
 

I have had several items sell really fast, one just a little over 2 minutes after it listed. I sell gold suckers that I make and various items like books, collectables and such. I always research items to set the price, and set the price a little lower than the highest price ones that I find.

If it sells really fast, I also usually think I had it priced too low.
