Seems like a worthwhile idea to me. Win-win all round - except for the snipers of course but who cares about them (modern day carpet-baggers). |
| "Peter W." <peterwieck33@gmail.com>: Nov 17 03:32AM -0800 Why do I use esnipe? a) It prevents impulse bidding. b) There will always be another one. c) There is NOTHING that I really need from eBay. d) And, of course, anyone can use it. Has anyone seen those penny auctions sites, typically advertising with "I got a 60" television for $5.00!!!" eBay spares us from that chaos by setting start and end times. If you resent the snipers, you did not bid high enough. Full Stop.

However as an eBay seller, it does leave money on the table. What I am saying is that eBay does not do that well for sellers, but it does work just fine for buyers.

Note, please, I am writing entirely and only for myself, and I have both bought (95%) and sold (5%) on eBay. The venue is entirely about expectations. if the seller has high expectations the seller had better set a reserve along those lines. If the seller is sufficiently savvy to research the market ahead of posting, that process is not difficult. If the seller is looking for the "Bigger Fool" - that is a crap-shoot, and the seller gets exactly what is deserved. eBay puts buyers together with sellers with fixed rules. Sure, they favor the buyer - that is what keeps them coming back. And, again, a savvy seller will know all this and list/price accordingly. Generally, when I sell on eBay it is stuff that is difficult to transport, or stuff I just want rid-of. $1.00 + shipping, no problem! Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |
| RosemontCrest <bpr@post.com>: Nov 16 05:25PM -0800 I have a Seiki SC-40FK700N TV with what appears to me to be dim backlighting along the top 1/3 of the screen. The lower portion of the screen appears as normal, but about 2 weeks ago the top suddenly went dim; it's still readable, but dim. I don't know how many LED strips this TV has. I would appreciate any troubleshooting suggestions such as what nominal voltages I should see where. If it does turn out to be a bad LED strip, should they all be replaced while I'm in there? While I do have plenty of experience dismantling, repairing and assembling medical devices and computers, I have never worked on a LED TV. After watching some backlight repair videos, it looks rather straight forward. I think that I can find LED strips for ~$15/ea or so, so it may worth fixing this set. Thanks for any help. |
