aright well im gonna put the bike back up again but i have a few questions:
1) how can i add pictures without paying. do i use the [IMG]...[/IMG] or is it something else.
2) if i want the bike to sell for no less than $150 should i start the bidding at $150 or just put a reserve at $150
3) should i put a title with other bike names in it just to get more hits, or is there any other way to get more attraction to it.
and any other tips would be appreciated. help me get rid of this thing once and for all

There are a couple things you should do, that a worth the money. First, bolden the title, second have a second title under the real on, and put some more info, and some stuff to attract attention. Only put stuff that might be searched for in the real title, non of that "amazing" crap. Buy the pictures, they cost like .15 cents, the only way to use the tags, is if you build your own website with html. I'd say start your listing at 9.99 and have a reserve.

Don't put any other names of bikes, it's illegal, and it doesn't help. Try to compare you bike to some other bikes in your description, that people might search for.

^ yea last time i did the little sub-title thing and it seemed pretty nice. what about the actual page for the auction though. should i just keep normal font and stuff, or do people actually like when it's creative and stuff.

think about what you would like to see when you open up the page and try doing that

don't put any of the crap wround the description, it's a waiste of money, and I think I figured out how to get free pictures. On my system, when you click the link to upload pics, there's a little tab on top that says selfhost, do that.

actually, I just listed some stuff, and I put the pictures in the description, and it worked, so maybe you should try that. And it's really really easy to edit your listing, so just try some stuff, and see if it works. Just make sure your host doesn't need to be signed in so other people can see the pic.

You could say it's not... (List of other bike brands.) But that's sort of being an asshole.

I just copy pasted pictures from photobucket into the description. Not the img code but the pic itself.

That's actually really good, I have a few jersey's on their right now, and I'm not expecting much, so I only took like 30 seconds to write the description.

iron horse yakuza chimpira. i just started so i checked tons of reviews and found this to be best for me and my price and i love it so far. i don't put much time into working on the bike or anything so it's all stock except the seatpost and saddle, but i live mtbing sooo much.
