Interest in an item before formally listing it

[jgran22]

where on eBay can I list an item for sale to see if there is buying interest before formally listing it:  I know there was such an area on eBay years ago.

Thanks

There used to be a 'looking to buy' section but that hasn't been around for years.  Have you looked on ebay to see if similar items are listed and alsp looked to see if any have sold?  After you do a search, you can click on 'sold items' on the left side of the page to see if anything similar has sold in the last 3 months.
