speed of vintagecomputermarketplace

First, the obvious - the speed that something sells is a function of both price and demand AND visibility ... just *had* to get that out of the way :). But what you are asking is not an easy question to answer since there are so many different variables. Visibility I fully agree that VCM makes a really good venue, and Sellam's rant seems to be having the (unintended) effect of more people listing and viewing the site. One of the reasons I *really* would like to see a link to VCM from ClassicCmp.org is that I can easily publicize the ClassicCmp listserver on ebay emails, the "About Me" page (although it hasn't been added yet) without worrying about the two faced retaliation by Ebay. Some of you may recall the Ebay notices to put out the information to all the newsgroups, etc. about Ebay and that helped a LOT to publicize the site; word of mouth about a good thing was *very* prevalent. This is also what needs to be done to help publicize the VCM site. How Long I've had things on VCM for maybe a year or more that 1) haven't sold, 2) finally sold, and 3) sold quickly on Ebay. Things like books are relatively easy to research pricing. There are other research tools to help determine pricing on relatively common stuff, but things that are less common are basically an educated guess and are set by how fast you want something to move. It is also helped/hindered by how well/poorly the listing copy is written.
