content: I'm tempted but you have zero feedback as a seller. Anything you can do to reassure a potential buyer?(I live in L.A. but I'm from Ireland so can have it shipped to family there easily).

content: For what it is worth, I've been tracking K2000's in the US, and I've bought a few.My impressions are that: In the US market, your BIN price would be on the high-side for a quick sale and your starting price for the auction would probably not get a lot of attention.On top of those, the fact that you are a first-time seller probably decreases the price you can expect to get, though I can't guess by how much.A few suggestions:Set a lower auction starting price. The equivalent of $99 might be a good starting point. You might even consider going lower. In just the past two days I've seen two K2000 auctions that started below $100 go for $225-275US and I paid over $300 for one that had the latest firmware and a recent cal to match. A low price involves some risk, but it also attracts more initial interest, including people who may decide to just pay the BIN price.Set a lower BIN price or keep your BIN price, but set a longer time-frame on the auction, or don't auction it at all.Find some cheaper stuff to sell first.Don't just show readings in photos. Use the text description to cover what they are showing.Software version is old enough not to be a selling point, and so not worth mentioning. On the other hand, listing the last cal date may be worthwhile. It's obviously been a few years, but people who know, know these things are quite stable.
