This may seem like a silly guide however, I found that many people have listed these items incorrectly and thus lost out of bigger profits.  First off when you snap a picture of the item make sure they are standing up and that the item is clean.  Many of these vintage figures have dirt from being played with over the years and if they are loose from the package you can take a little bit of water or alcohol and put it on a q-tip to clean the figure.  Nobody wants to recieve a dirty figure and if they do its possible you may recieve a negative feedback.  Its importnat to take the time that the product you ship out is clean and if its clean in the picture you will be able to get more out of it.  Secondly, by standing the figure up it looks much better in the picture and drives the selling price up. I have sold multiples of the same item and sold the same item that is in worse shape than another for more simply because I stood it up rather than laying it down.  Its harder to take a standing up picture and requires you actually bend down and get eye level with the item.  Lastly and most importnat PUT THE NAME OF THE FIGURE FIRST!!! DO NOT PUT MOTO anywhere in the listing SPELL IT OUT and if you don' thave room pay the money for the subtitle!!!! HERE IS AN EXAMPLE LISTING:  RAM-MAN VINTAGE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE MINT FIGURE!!!  This way when they search for Ram-Man they will get it first!!! I listed a dozen or so of these figures with MOTO in the title and He-Man before the name and they did not sell after being re-listed about 3 times.  On the fourth listing I changed the heading to the correct way and they sold each recieved multiple bids!!! So even though this may seem like a simple guide, take my advice and just try it out!!!! Making money is why we sell on ebay, why not make as much as you possibly can!!!!
