[SWCollect] 'Tis the season to be stingy?

[Jim Leonard]

So I gathered up a lot of stuff that I was going to auction off with low 
starting bids, and like any good seller I did a Completed Items search 
to get an idea of what I should expect.  Lo and behold, not a single 
thing I was planning on listing had been fetching over $1 (or even 
selling!).  I didn't have *complete* turkeys:  The Immortal, Zany Golf, 
Jetfighter III, Coaster, Quest for Glory II, Zeliard...  geez, it's not 
like I was going to sell Keypunch shareware or anything...

Is this particular time not the best time to be listing stuff for 
auction?  Or is it just a fluke?  I don't want to go through all this 
trouble only to sell 30 titles at $1 a piece...  or should I just accept 
that the only items that will make any money at all are the Daggerfalls, 
Ultimas, etc.?

Or would a better strategy be to just list stuff indefinitely on 
bidville and hope that somebody comes along?
