Auction dipes or not?

I swore that I would never do this, but I'm debating auctioning some diapers on spots. I have some popular prints and one htf. I used to get pissed when people did this because I just wanted the diapers to put on my kid's butt. But there's such a craze right now that I could get a decent amount for them (like $40-60/ea) And that money could fund many more diapers ;) So, should I be a scalper or no?

    Hmmm.  If it is one I want then no, you shouldn't be a scalper. Otherwise, go for it.

    HA!

    The other is to just price them for what you think the auction will go for.

    Eh, I would go ahead and auction. It isn't like you bought them for the purpose of auctioning and making money... I say go for it.

    Do you have any boy prints that you are wanting to get rid of?

    Maybe you could give your bumpie friends a sneak peek? We could offer what we can, and if you think you can do better at an auction, no hard feelings!

    What I would probably do is determine what you think is a good/fair price (so $40 or $60 or whatever depending on the print) and list them here and on the FB page for those prices. Whatever doesn't sell at those prices, auction on Spots.

    I don't have a philosophical problem with auctions or anything--I just find them annoying. I'm not willing to keep tabs on the diaper I'm following for days on end. I'd rather just give you the $50 and call it a day. ;)

    Oh, and I think the impulse buy thing can work in your favor with BIN. People are so afraid of their ISO getting snapped up quickly that they'll buy, even at a high-ish price. With auction, you have too much time to think about how much $$ you're spending on a poop catcher. :0
