Here's a similar one which sold last weekend, so that should give you some idea of price.
Belle PCLX 320 Wacker Compactor Plate diy use only
Oh and another tip, if the item has an faults, you say yours has a slightly bent handle, make sure you have a photo showing the fault. Your version of slightly bent maybe different to other peoples.

Indeed; the completed listings section on ebay is very useful prior to selling something/setting a reserve price yourself.

sold some stand up controls for a hiab couple of years ago collection only fella from germany bid on them on last minute paid through paypal and then demanded i post them at my cost and got very shirty told him no chance and refunded his money ???
to be honest i would offer postage on the wacker youll get more interest and bids and i wouldnt be impressed when i found out i would have to go to chipping to collect preston not that far chipping back of beyond
go to gibbon bridge hotel in chipping sometimes

you charge postage as extra, costs you nothing but would specify uk mainland only have been stung having to send things to n.ireland a couple of times or let them arrange own courier done that quite a few times thru shiply.co.uk
i know chipping comes under preston but its quite a way out in the country

Hi Dan - every BC regular is on your side - done shit loads on ebay meself - fingers crossed, it's all gone okay - bit horrified by the chunk that ebay took for item (reserve £1300 - sold for £2100)
My only advice to all, is never sell something for someone else.... - all went horribly wrong - interminable stupid questions that I didn't know the answer to...
ps - I've also stopped ever lending tools to anyone - even if they're good friends or family. Buy your own you cheapskate.. :p

Ebay is great for generating interest in your item. I recently sold my tilt-bed car trailer - after listing it my phone lit up for the next ten days.
Sold it off ebay for what I wanted, cost about 25p to list it, starting at 99p with no reserve. Hate ebay's final value fees.
