How to create a for-sale thread

[AlliDfense]

Can someone tell me how to make the pictures I take smaller? I want to add more stuff to my thread but it looks like crap cause the pictures from my phone come out HUGE!! LOL.

Open them in a program like Paint and find the option to resize them. It's not difficult, just mess with it until you're happy with the size.

If you have Paint,

Open image and then select the "image" drop down menu, and select "Stretch and Skew".

Change percentage, you will have to use trial and error to find right size. make sure to change both horizontal and vertical percentages and makes sure they are the same value.

Hey there,

I'm new here, so please bear with me. I know it's forbidden to put "make an offer" instead of a price when posting a for-sale thread, but what if I put a price in my thread and moments later I have like 5 people willing to buy an item, some of them ready to pay much more than a posted price?

Of course, when I oficially tell Person A "the item is yours, here's my PayPal e-mail", I won't change my mind even after Person B later offers me more,. Promise is promise.

But I think it's my right to choose from a variety of offers before I make a final decision who the items goes to. Now, the question is - how do I handle the "current bid" stuff? Shall I put a post in my thread with "Guys, I've got an offer from some Rich Man, he wants to pay 50 EUR, instead of 5 EUR I originally wanted. Does anyone want to outbid him?"

PS No, I don't have an eBay account. And, to be perfectly honest, I didn't even think there would be more than one, if any, person interested in my stuff.

Hi monk,

Opening a "bidding war" is against the rules. If you are not sure what the item is worth, it would be better to find out before putting it up for sale. The other thing you can do is overestimate the value, and put "$XX or best offer."

Accepting whosoever offer is ultimate up to you.

Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Thank you!

I had been trying to find out how much my items were worth before I posted the thread, but couldn't find anything, they don't even figure in the site's DB. :/ I have little experience in selling such stuff, I used to simply keep them myself or give them away as gifts. You wouldn't even imagine how many oversized, game-related T-shirts my not-gaming girlfriend wears as pyjamas.

Anyway, I'll do my best to act more like a "law-abiding citizen" (*) next time.

(*) Quite a good movie, huh?

guys, why is it that whenever I edit my thread title, it doesn't actually change the title on the "for sale" page?

This is a problem that effects some users but not others, I have the exact same problem.

In the end I was forced to ask the MOD to do it for me, hopefully there is a fix or someone knows what we are doing wrong.

I had the problem one time, never again. It seems completely random; if it doesn't work, just try the next day.
