My Cashmere Sweater flip



Here is a listing that I used Gixen.com
auction sniper on a couple weeks ago:








I just recieved this item in the mail yesterday
and promtly took a pic and listed it as a Buy It Now.
Here is my listing:


The original listing had several things wrong with it that caused the bidding to not go very high.

1. Very short title (no brand name, no size, no color). Probably the worst title I have seen.
2. Misspelled the word "sweater"
3. Very little info in the description. The description basically read "Forte cashmere sweater size large in good condition.

I created a more detailed description and title, better photo, with a Buy It Now of $44.99 last night. This morning it was sold. I was really surprised that it sold so quickly. I stated kicking myself that I should have set the Buy It Now higher... oh well, don't be greedy!
So after fees and such I made about $30 for probably 10 minutes of work.
That is what a better title, description and photo can do for a listing. Make sure you spell words correctly!
