Listing New Items As Something Other Than New

[MrJR]

I sell a variety of things that I buy from flea markets, storage liens, auction companies, garage sales, you name it.

Got limited after five days of stealth on an account. I may have started too quickly. I own up to that. But my other question is this: I listed two baby monitors. Both new in box. I’ve never led off a stealth with electronics before. I’ve been doing to massive reading this morning and came across a few people recommending (in this case a gentleman selling FitBits) that you never list them as new. Always new (other) or used. Does doing this allow you to fly under the radar better? Did listing an new electronic so early make me stick out like a sore thumb?

I've been doing exactly that with new accounts and it has worked for me without fail.
Tinsoldier could be correct as well. Perhaps these are on the look-out and I was just lucky. It could be the low-value items I chose to start with.

I've been doing listings on USED just to be on the safe side and it's been working better. Although, i doubt anyone will buy my used mugs... who knows..
