If you aren't getting any bites after a month or two it's a sign that your asking price is too high or the item simply undesirable and if it's the latter you have to weigh the pros and cons of just taking a lowball offer to get rid of it or sit on it for a long time.

yeah. A couple of items I did settle for the low offer, as there are just too many of the item out there for sale and something is better than nothing.
I'm usually happy to get rid of an item over having it taking up space.
My advice to people is to not collect anything. My parents collected a few things that are now out of fashion and there is no market whatsoever for them. I remember my dad saying "these will be worth a lot of money one day".
heh. no. it's worth less than what was paid for the stuff 30 or 40 years ago.
it's garbage.
