I have a brand new, never-been-used Quality Control collar. It cost £70 but I've noticed they're now charging £75 for them.

It was made for me but I found I got panicky in it after less than a minute, (I'm a bit claustrophobic and I've only ever worn 'dress' type collars) so it came off, never to go on again.

I was thinking of listing it on Ebay for £50 as it's genuinely BNWT but it will sit amongst cheap tat listed for £15 and will probably look overpriced when you can't see how lovely it is.

It's a beautiful thing, leather, lined with purple suede lambskin, welded D rings for serious play and created on a curve so no uncomfortable creases in the lining. Cos I'm a big bird we had it made big and it will fit a good sized mans neck as well as going down to girly sizes (I'll get a tape measure out later).

What's a sensible price, d'you think?

I would put up really good multiple pictures of the collar and emphasize that it is superior quality - good luck!

Can you paut it up for auction with a reserve at all??

Incidentally, in the past i've seen the the better quality items (like yours) fetch good prices as people who are interested in this sort of item can tell the difference between tat and quality.

I'd say £50 is reasonable - and like Sinmara said make sure you have good quality pictures :-)

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Thanks Sinmara and Splashy.... I have a decent camera so can get some quality shots.

97 views and only two opinions? I had to double check I was on IC for a moment, there :-D

What's their returns policy, and how long have you had it?

Generally if you buy something mail order you can return it for a refund within 7 working days (distant selling regulations).

It was bought last summer - has been sitting in my box of pervery ever since (plus I ordered it face to face) so the distance selling regs won't help me one bit - nice thought though, thank you. It's only the end of a relationship that's making me have a clear out.

I might stick a reserve on it; part of me just wants it 'rehomed' but I'm so stupidly skint at the moment I need to be able to raise as many quids as I can :-(

Make sure you put it's a Quality Control collar in the title to help make it stand out from the less good stuff. You could also add how much it would cost if bought from the QC site in the item blurb.

You might even get someone on here memoing you about it and offering to buy it...

Why havent you put a link to your ebay advert? someone from here may be interested. At the end of the day something is worth what another person will pay but pics and discription help them understand the quality.

Good luck

Haven't listed it yet, Qwoin, I need a pervy Ebay persona before I do cos I don't want it on my 'nilla listings.

Dr G - will get a tape measure to it soon, just in from muddy walk with hounds.

If anyone *is* interested, it's about 14.5" on the tightest hole, to around 19" on the loosest.
