    Shall I do it or not?

    Well folks I've got 2 cages and I want to get rid of them both and get something else. Both are in good condition and well looked after. One's market value would be about $2500 and the other $6500.

    I just can't be assed going through the whole bullshit sale process and waiting and waiting, although I am in no hurry for cash. So I was thinking to chuck both of them up on TradeMe for a $1 reserve and let the market determine the value and what I get for them.

    Good or bad move? Comments with reasons please

    $2500 and $6500 according to AA lemon check market valuation. I'd say about $2800 and $7000. Baah. Sob sob.

    I'll save you the trouble of putting them on trade me and give you five bucks for both of them.

    Go for it. There are stacks of buyers in Aucks. No better place to get market value on Tardme I reckon.

    When I come across auctions for something decent at a $1 reserve I always think "shit they have big balls", but more times than not people get silly and once they start bidding they can't seem to be able to stop themselves.

    Just as long as you can live with the possibility of a low price then go for it.

    Yeah, I've noticed this too. I think the "You wont beat me" thing kicks in and people wont stop bidding.

    Yeap it's the same thing, pretty much a 1.5l corolla with a fancy name. Engine model is 5AFE I think. Chassis is AE100. Same as corolla.
