What's Your Fastest eBay sale?

[Dezzamondo]

Here's a bit of an odd one for you guys.

I repair electronics for fun & fiends, but have recently been trying to find routes to take it into a second fastlane venture. I recently bought two PSPs for ~GBP£20 (~USD$35-40) with various problems (one broken screen and the other wouldn't turn on) and used one to repair the other. Second hand 1st Gen ones retail for aound £30-50 each so I thought I'd be clever and list it as a 99p Auction with a £55 BIN, free P&P (or +£3 for 1st Class) and my standard 100% satisfaction garuntee to help drive bids.

Total time the listing was up and runing for before being bid & bought:

14 Mins, 34 Seconds.

Looks like I'm learning

Do any of you guy have any better times from listing to buying & payment?
