How do you go about selling items?
For jewel items I once read in the LJ community it's best to start at a really really low price if you want to sell it at a decent amount of jewels and that seems to work for me! I usually chose the maximum amount of days though this one person on LJ chose the minimum amount of days (the reasoning being that poupées freak out over the low price + little time they have).
For ribbon items I really suck! I've been trying to sell rare-ish/expensive items for so long now and no one seems to want to buy them. For not-so-rare items I usually don't care much and always sell them under oribon prices and they sell super quick. I just have no patience for selling things, I kinda want to underpice those ribbon items I'm currently selling but I won't because I need the ribbons for my rainboot fund! T-T

Yeah I just tried selling something at the jewel auction for the first time & nobody bought it XD. Which is okay, I knew the starter bid would probably be too high, but I figured I might as well try. I'll put it up again for lower soon. Do you ever make the jewels you paid for an item back in full or do you always get less?
For rare ribbon items, yeah, patience is kind of key I think XD. I just refresh the sale occasionally, but I haven't had a ton of luck selling either. In the past I always sold my rare items underpriced to make quick ribbons, but I don't want to do that anymore. My Yukari clock necklace will either sell for 9999r or not at all XD.
I mix a few rare items with cheaper underpriced things, & as long as those sell quickly enough I don't mind waiting for the rare items.

Sometimes I get more, sometimes I get less. It really depends on the item; its cuteness and its rareness.
Yeah, I just only have rare-ish and expensive items I want to get rid of right now but I've been looking through my closet to sell some cheaper things too to make me more patient haha XD

I haven't sold any jewels items yet and I don't know when I ever will - I like the ones I have currently too much to get rid of! But I can't be buying jewels all the time, so I'm sure eventually I'll end up trying to shift things around...
As far as ribbon items, I stock super common items - usually this is shell spring stuff - at 9r and then just keep going down until someone buys them; if they don't sell at 3r somehow, then I shell them. (At least that's my policy but I tend to automatically shell a lot of things instead...) Anything else, I try to sell for a percentage under oribon, I don't keep it exact but maybe 10% less than the average? The only rarer item I've sold was a Chocolate Bar Dress and I was super impatient so I just kept knocking the price lower every couple hours until someone took it. XD;
