    I need to sell my Texans season tickets and thought eBay would be a good place. I'm not looking to make extra money. I just need to buy them to retain my seats and then get my money back, because I need to invest the money elsewhere.

    Has anyone done this for their tickets?

    What are the dos and don'ts?

    I know eBay has some info on this, but I wanted to hear it first hand from people that have done it.

    Thanks

    What are you asking, how many seats are there and where are the seats located?

    where are the seats...if they are good, and you would sell the PSL as well, i'd probably buy them

    They are not PSL seats.

    They are section 616 Row C, Seats 1 and 2 (on the aisle).

    I love the seats. They are close to restrooms, food and smoking if that's your thing.

    I will need to re-check the price. i think their 45 per, but I'm at work.

    I was more curious about the best way to sell them on ebay. If I make a few extra bucks then it will help the siuation I'm in, but that is not the primary reason.

    Thanks

    Actually those are great seats with a great view of the field.

    Bit snarky aren't we NJ?

    I think you'll be better off selling them individually rather than all at once. You'll also do better if you can throw in a parking pass. Until a buddy of mine agreed to buy all my unused season tickets (I have 'em, but live in Maryland), that's what I did.

    Put 'em up for bid three weeks in advance, stipulate you will only ship Priority or by Fed Ex and expect to take a beating on the preseason games.

    Yeah individually is the way to go, you'll lose money on some but make it back on the big games. If they have a good season, you'll make a killing
