Dump the reserve price...it puts people off.

You obviously want 500 pounds or more. Probably too much. C'mon, this
stuff is cheaper than that. Nice box but 40 gig drive? And no burner?
The Liteon dvd is a reader only, right? If you want top dollar,
replace the reader with a dvd burner and raise the price a bit. I
wouldnt buy a box without at least a cd burner.

Dont call it a childrens computer. The kids always get the old one
when the parents buy a new one. Nice box but forget the "look nice in
your living room" bit. More info on how nice the PICTURE will look.

Anyway, thats my take on it.

HEY, you did get 7 bids. Nowadays thats not bad.

Unfortunately, computers lose value that quickly. Cost you £390 last week,
and this week it's worth £380. That's the computer market for you.

Which is probably WAY too high for eBay.

c'mon, who are you trying to kid buddy? You are going to spend hours
building a pc, spend time composing an eBay ad, taking pictures, etc, all
this for only 10 Euro? (less your eBay, & PayPal charges which might mean
you aren't making anything at all.....according to your figures)

You wan't some advice? DON'T LIE TO PEOPLE!!

You have a right to make a profit if you're selling on eBay.....just about
everyone does. You DO NOT have a right to be a snivelling LIAR!!

It is not a lie, the reserve was £10 over what the parts cost, plus £15 for
the ebay fees (£375 parts and £15 fees). I am more than happy to send you a
copy of the invoice for the parts if you want to see it.

I bought the parts to build a PC for my kids without my wife knowing, but
she has now told me that she does not want a second PC and I have to sell it
so all I am trying to get back is the original cost at minimum. Yeah, I
would like more than that hence setting a Buy it Now at £499, but the
reserve was £400.

Thanks for your trust anyway, not everybody out there is the same you know,
show some trust in others and they may trust you!

OK, where shall I send copy of invoice to for you so I can prove it? I can
scan it and e-mail or post it just to show that I am being honest.
