Wow your right I stuck it up on ebay (newish seller)  and right off the bat I got a $50 bid.... can I take it down and should I?

[bigwull]

Yes you can end the listing at anytime...how many days have you listed it for..if there is still a few days to go...let it run...just keep checking it...then if you get a good price let it go....as it stands your well into profit...the secret is ..don,t be greedy....

[cmlindb]

Oh, I am definitely okay with the profit margin I just don't want to give something cool away for basically nothing if I might be able to just keep it for myself haha

[bigwull]

Well, seeing as how you got it for nowt...and its not eating any of your corn...keep it...me personally, i,d punt as i think it ugly...freebies like this don,t come along often...sell it, then use the profit to buy more profit...that,s what Avril and I do...our stake is £100 per month...and our best find so far was 4 x JR150 stereo speakers, @ £4 for the 4...which sold for £900....Or you can hang it on your wall...and just hope that it never falls off....

I like your style.... I can't hold onto something just because other people think its worth something. I'm going to let it ride out on ebay and keep looking.

You should be getting a couple of hundred for this. Just be careful with shipping and someone doesn't try a scam claiming it's fake or broken and asking you to reduce the price - it's not fake.

Good luck with it !

quick update just to let you guys know because I listen to old bigwull on this one and let it ride out and the plate actually brought in $118.99... For a plate I got in a $5.00 box at an auction there is no complaining here.
