I have 3 adult 3 day hoppers, 1 child 3 day hopper and 1 child 3 day hopper plus (all no expiration). I received an email for the MYW plus free dining plan and I'm considering going with that instead (i think it will save some money on the dining). How should I list these hoppers on ebay ~ individually in 5 separate auctions or all together in one auction? Would you make it Buy It Now only (can you even do that?) Any advice is appreciated!!
 
I'd break them up. Not everyone is looking for child passes, or the combination of 3 adult & 2 child passes. You would be better off listing them separately...a pair of adult passes, one single adult pass, on single child PH and one single child PHP. You can always offer to combine shipping on multiple auction wins for anyone who buys more than one auction.
 
If I were you, I'd list them separately, that way you can attract different buyers. I would note in your descriptions of each listing that you have other tickets for sale. Buyers can check your other listings by just clicking on a link and all the items you have up for bid will show up. You are able to make them a "buy it now" listing...that option is up to you. Most of the tickets listed on eBay are 2 day hoppers I believe, so you have an advantage for ppl looking to stay longer at the parks. Hope this helped :)
 
thanks for your quick replies...I was thinking it would be better to break them up too. It's a funny combination especially since one of the child's tickets is a PHP (we had 4 tickets w/plus options left over from last trip so only needed a plus option for the youngest).

I have sold other things on ebay before, but not too often and never hopper passes. How has the success rate for selling hoppers been? I really want to be sure I don't lose money on these. I only want to sell these in order to be able to save money by going with the MYW plus free dining. If I lost out $ by selling these tickets, then there is no sense in going through all this work!
 

From what I haves seen you should have pretty good luck selling these on ebay. I would set a reserve price and/or a buy it now price for a reasonable price that you would accept for them. I would even suggest offering a free shipping option if someone buys maybe 3 or more of your auctions. It would increase traffic to your other auctions and likely increase bidding if you have bidders looking for multiple tickets (which many are.) If you do offer it, I would list each of your tickets seperately.

Did you get the tickets at a discount? (If so, please PM me with what you would ask for one of the adult tickets ;) )

Good luck!

Good advice :goodvibes
 
We had to cancel our trip so i put my tickets up on ebay about two weeks ago. I had six 7 day base tickets and all but one sold.

Be ready for several people to ask you if they can buy them for much cheaper than you have them listed :( I specificly had one person email me at least three times when people were buying them for what i was asking. He kept emailing me with offers for way less then i had them up. So annoying.
