kinzelSigh...
I don't like Ebay all that much but it looks like the bet since we've come up with a few copies of some of the harder to find books, like I Dare and and Pilots Choice and the first edition Partner in Necessity among the miscellany I picked up ion Atlanta. We've had multiple requests for all this stuff...
so tell, do, what's the best thing for bidders? A 1 week deadline? A 24 hour deadline?
When I have multiple copies in different states (one signed/dated to a principal of the company, for example, and the others unsigned (but signable!) should I put them up at the same time or one after another...
Should I permit a "buy now" with some off-the-wall high bid?
Gah, can you believe someone's asking $127 for the Ace version of Agent of Change? Heck, I think I may have a couple Del Rey copies around here - should I put them up to?
Real questions: I find in these different boxes a couple of the out of print SRM chapbooks as well as some Meisha Merlin stuff. Should I just list one each of them as well? What kind of starting bids make sense -- don't want to scare people away...
We have a few odds and ends of other things around -- for example, I know have the (somewhat dinged up)cover - poster of Crystal Dragon and of Balance of Trade -- anyone interested in them?
Advice from experienced ebayers welcome, but as always we'll make up our own mind...

Also -- make sure your item heading includes as much information as possible -- there's a limit on character count so you may need to be creative -- and make use of the subheading as well. For example:
I Dare - Liaden Universe Signed Copy
Personalized for you by Sharon Lee, Steve Miller
So much of listing on eBay is trial and error. (sigh)
