How to price your RIB or Outboard

How to price your RIB or Outboard

A good strategy for pricing a RIB or outboard involves considering several factors. First, research the market value of similar RIBs and outboards. Next, consider the condition of your RIB or outboard. If it's in excellent condition, you can price it higher than if it needs some repairs.  Finally, set a reserve price that is at least 20% higher than your starting price. This will help ensure that you don't sell your RIB or outboard for less than you're willing to accept.

Trade Sellers: Don't set your starting price the same as your own sales channels. You'll get better results by offering a competitive price on ribs.auction.

Where can I find my pending auctions?

You can edit your auction listings until someone places a bid. This means you can add more images or change the text of your listing up until that point.

To find your listing, go to "My control panel" in the menu bar. Then, on the left side under "Selling", click on "Pending auctions". You'll see your auction items listed there. Just click the edit button to make any changes you need.

How to delete an item I have listed.

To delete an item from your pending auctions, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your account.
  2. Go to your "My Control Panel".
  3. Under the "Selling" section on the left-hand side, click "Pending Auctions".
  4. Find the item you want to delete.
  5. Check the box under the "Delete" heading.
  6. Click the "Delete" button.

Once your auction reaches the bidding period, you can't make any changes to your item. This means no more editing or deleting!

What does it cost the seller to list and sell on ribs.auction?

At ribs.auction we do not charge a listing fee, nor a seller's fee!
