Not sure what the going price is at the moment, but keep it high on your first try. If you don't sell, you can relist for free.

Don't know ..But I do know that you'll sell on eBay a lot better if you do not set a minimum limit bid in the beginning (you can still set a minimum "Reserve Price" for winning the item).

Most things I wanted to get rid of where listed that way starting with a $.99 bid and a 5-7 day bid period. It allows enough time for people to find your item and put it on their watch list when they see a $.99 price point. However, the real action does not start until a few minutes before the bid due date. You may not get as high a price as you want but you definitely sell the item. And setting a "Reserve Price" can guarantee you that you do not sell a $100 item for .$99 if enough people do not show up to the party.

ok. i went with a 5 day listing so that it gets up the list quicker. looking around most get bid into the $70's, people "buy it now" pricing is crazy though. Most are $110+, I'm at $95 with everything you get plus car chargers and gel cases with each phone. I think it's a steal.

Cheaper to list as a buy it now and let them get as much exposure as possible, then you'll be charged less by eBay when they do sell. Fee for auction is 9%, BIN anywhere from 6-10 depending on specificities, but usually a bit less than auction.

I'll use that tactic the 2nd time around if necessary.
