    No pictures, no sell. You should also mention whether or not the system is homebuilt, or from what company it came from.

    Friendly advice from an eBay veteran.

    Also a bit on the pricey side… At the very least, lower your starting bid, or you won’t see a single bid. People are looking for deals, and a $4000 starting bid is no deal to most Ebayers. Start it at something like $0.99 and see how it goes from there. Remember: you’ve got your reserve in place, so setting a low starting bid won’t hurt you any and it will also lower your Ebay fees.

    I’ve just been putting together a new Avid based on the SuperMicro X6DAE-G2 motherboard. Using a SuperMicro 450 case specifically approved for this motherboard. And with ADS Pyro 64, PCI-X graphics, 2 x 1 GB sticks, and all the choice hardware, plus brand new license and purchase of Avid Xpress Pro HD 5.2 with Mojo Rev C, comes in at slightly over $5k.

    That doesn’t include the same graphics card, or a 4 drive RAID, however, it is also brand spanking new, and not used.

    What I think the seller should do is outline every single part # in this bundle. I know for myself, I went through a painful process of putting this kind of a system together myself, rather than buying an HP.

    Given that the ebay start price is bordering on the retail new price, I think it would be best to outline what the parts are, and how old they are. Also, ebayers do want a deal. Start low, and get them bidding. Get them watching. The seller never mentions the transfer of license, and related costs, or even if the books are included, or what revision the Mojo has. This is all needed information. The sellers notes are too vague for this.

    Just my 2 cents.
