Hey. Well, for the trumpet, since it's used, if you can get anything for it, the most would probably be like $35.00, if you're lucky. For the playstation2, you might be able to get like $150.00 for that. I would start the trumpet at like $25.00, and the PS2 at about $75.00. Hope I helped.

I'd recommend just searching ebay for the items you're selling first to get an idea of what they're going for. I just searched for playstation 2 and found some that were going for $50, and some that were going for $130. It depends on what kinds of accessories you're offering with it, what type you have, all that. It also depends on your ebay account... if you're a power seller with 500 ratings, more people will bid on your item. If you've never sold before, you're going to suffer because people won't trust you - sell some little things first to get positive feedback before you try to list something big like a trumpet.

Either way I think it's always easier to list low and be realistic... if something is overpriced, people won't bid on it, but if you give it a low price and get some people started bidding, the amount will frequently meet that higher price just because people are excited and don't think about it.

I've been selling a few things on ebay for a few years now. Nothing as big and expensive as what you have mentioned, but heres some advice. Everything I've ever sold, I put up for a penny starting price. It reaches a lot more people that way. You could always put a reserve price, which means that if that price isn't reached, the item wont sell. Ebay charges a small fee if that happens. Shipping will be a problem, especially for the trumpet. You can inflate the shipping price slightly, but you should still set the starting price at a penny.

You will probably get like $50 for your ps2. I checked out current prices on trumpets and you can probably get around $100. Do a search and see what trumpets like yours sells for.
