eBay question
Russ-Turner - 22/10/06 at 12:51 PM
Hi folks.
Unfortunately I need to sell quite an expensive piece of Formula One memorabilia on the Bay of e to help fund the rest of my time away at college. 
Although I didn't buy it to make a profit on it I am totally skint and have no choice. So what I need to know is if I list something on
eBay.co.uk will it be visible to people all over the world? and if not does anyone know how to make this possible? Will it do it automatically if you
say you are willing to post to these destinations, because I need as much exposure as possible for it.
Thanks in advance,
Russ.

you set the options to post to other countries.
That then makes it appear on the other ebays.
The problem is local users have the search set to thier locality and it screens out you ad

You can, as said, put post world wide and also available to UK, don't forget to put a reserve on it.

It's the rear sidepod from Michael Schumacher's 1996 Ferrari F310. This was on the car when he took it to all three victories that year and
so is the only one in existence. Signed by Schuey, Jody Sheckter and Ross Brawn. All with official doccumentation from Maranello Concessionaires
Ltd.

How much do you think it's worth?
Awesome bit of memorabillia

I haven't had it valued but I paid £3,000 for it in London when I was alot younger and the only thing I had to worry about was where the next
pint was coming from,but I will need at least £2,500 back for it. To be honest I always thought it would be something that I would pass on to my kids
and hopefully them onto theirs but the government don't seem to want to help you out if you are returning to full time education when you're
twenty four. I've had a request for three different loans / grants refused for various reasons so this is my last hope without getting into debt
with anyone really. It's a crapper because I've just got a work placement with Triple 8 Race Engineering, who run Vauxhall in the B.T.C.C.
as part of my course (unpaid) but if I can't afford to live up there there isn't much point. Gripe over

On the brighter side of things - you're selling a piece of motorsport memorobelia so you can become part of the history, rather than just owning
a piece of it!

She's saved!!! A generous donor has stepped in at the eleventh hour to help me put food on my rickety, student table.
