Sorry. Type Pikila.com into the web browser not your search. It comes up with a page that has a description and other links to the photos and items for sale. it's our first try at making a website/page. we just want to sell some items before we head back to the states. the direct link to the photos is http://www.flickr.com/photos/79949516@N04/sets/72157629999629597/ . the rest of the page just describes when you can pick up stuff and a spread sheet ....

Got it, OP.
Because you had dot com noted, I copy/pasted it directly into the browser (last night) as you advise, and rec'd the untrusted site warning. Not sure why. Today it worked fine.
I PM'd you.

I checked out the photos and comprehensive spreadsheet. The prices seemed very high to me - admittedly I don't know about fancy pushbikes, but $4Mil for 6 unmatched drinking glasses, $6Mil for a wooden cutting board, $7Mil for 3 second hand household trash cans etc

sorry you feel that way ... we tried hard to price things at half of what we paid for them (18 months ago at the longest).
if you are wanting 'screaming deals' -- on the 25th the prices will be 60% OFF of what they are now!!!

I just took a look at the price sheet and I also have to agree that these prices are very high. You have to realize that people don't want to pay a lot for used items - especially in Chile. I have a lot of success having "spring cleaning / garage sales" in Chile but I price my items accordingly. Best of luck.

we are doing this like a 'dutch auction' the price goes down as time goes on ... the price drops 10% on the 23rd, 40% on the 24th and 60% on the 25th.. for example the 6mil cutting board today will be 5.4 mil on the 23rd and 3.6mil on the 24th and Mandi has it reserved to buy on the 25th for 2.4mil - if no one buys it before that. so if you are looking for really cheap - reserve something for purchase on the 25th.

I think that way of selling has confused people. Here you usually set a fair price and take less as time goes on, but it isn't done like an auction. So people look at your top price and think it is too much, which most of them are. I would drop those top prices before the 23rd or just price everything at what you consider a fair price and then take offers.
