    How did you arrive at the price? I used to auction a few when I had numerous similar items, to see where the price would go, then if I wanted to move them faster I'd set the BIN price from the results of those auctions.
    I really don't see how you can sell anything with free shipping for less than $10 and hope to show a gain ?

    Agreed. Fees and shipping will kill the profit at any rate less than that.

    Make some bigger lots would be my suggestion. I saw your post on Facebook actually about sorting them. I replied to a friends comment that he would just chuck them in the garbage. LOL. Spend some time searching the various part numbers. List the best ones individually, then list others in lots of 10 or 20 each lot. Don't mess around with small sales with free shipping. The only time to do that is if you have a quantity of the exact same item and just let it roll, because you won't have to spend time taking more pictures, writing a listing, etc. Just a click or two and the next one is ready to sell.

    That being said, from the picture that I saw on facebook you probably have some duplicates and you may do alright.
