Actually I probably won't ebay the parts and here's why:

eBay is great if you're a buyer. You usually get great customer service because a negative feedback will really damage a seller, if not outright torpedo them. So a seller will usually bend over backwards to make you happy. Again, great if you're a buyer.

If you're a seller however...

Well first is the item even worth selling on eBay? The ideal items to sell are things that are worth a lot but don't cost much to ship. Phones, tablets, various other electronics, small collectables, the list goes on. Those items you can advertise ***FREE SHIPPING*** and eat the shipping cost while still making a profit. and if a customer doesn't like it, you can eat the cost of a return label as well and still get that all mighty positive feedback.

In the case of these TV boards, yeah they're fairly pricey on eBay, but so is an Electro Voice SP-15 woofer, like the one I have and have been trying to sell for years.

So it's a gamble of paying for the ad/exposure, eating the shipping cost to be competitive with other sellers, risking the customer returning it and eating the cost of a return label... all for parts that I might make $100 off of after ebay takes their cut, and that's even if they sell.

Not worth it to me.
