A bit more eBay pimping....

Okay, couple of comments from the perspective of a long time (since 1997) US buyer and seller. The UK may be different. Take a look at completed listings for "Bernoulli" on the UK site for the computers/tablets catagory. The only similar drive that did sell was sold for 23.87 pounds with 10.68 pounds postage... and was sold as working from the US. I see 150 drive in the US sold for $1.00 with $9.99 standard shipping. the brief description is "USED Bernoulli Transportable Mega 150 MultiDisk Tape drive. Sold ASIS. Drive Powers up. Power cable included." So first, can you give it a brief checkout, even if only to say the power light does come on? From the listing checks I did, it is probably not worth your time to do much more than that given the actual selling prices and the few similar items sold in both the US and UK. Second, re your description. "I have not tested this - I used to use this type of media in the early 1990s but not since. This was my main external drive for some years, on a 486 notebook. I have no idea if it is still working or not!" That is fine as it tells the potential buyer almost everything they need to know. Since the cable is kind of important, you should mention specifically if it is included or not. The rest of the description could be shorted up a lot... only put in what is important to the buyer. On heavier items, I tend to like adding the total mailing/shipping weight. Most people have a pretty good idea of what those costs are, and adding it to the listing helps potential buyers to know if the postage is reasonable or not (to them.) In the seller notes about condition, take out the "Caveat emptor." It adds nothing but does add the idea that chances are this is junk and conflicts with your statement that it was working when you last used it. Your description has postage at 30 pounds while it is shown at 50 pounds in the search listings. Does the UK have an option for calculated shipping? And is shipping really that expensive in the UK? You have your visitor counter not showing publicly (not a problem) so I couldn't tell how much, if any, interest there was. Hope this helps!
