A while back I sold about 76 betamax tapes (all with stuff on, but
mostly films that had probably only been watched once) - I put them on
with £1 no reserve and they fetched £5.50. Looking at other batches of
blank betamax tapes (of which there were very few) most had a start
price of at least a tenner, and I reckon even with a start price of £15
or even £20 I could have sold them (they've got to be about £4 each new,
so £20 for the lot is still a real bargain). I was a bit gutted, and it
was barely worth the effort, but that's life I suppose.

I buy a fair bit of electronic components. And 10 of something will often
fetch more than 100 or 1000. You should have sold then in batches of 10,
and I'll bet they'd have made decent money.
