Any help would be much appreciated.

I m selling some m-zone stuff nothing you guys would be interested in, the tunes i have left to sell are not particularly well heard off but are definate classics therefore a sound clip would help.

I ve sold most of my collection and they went like hot cakes, it seems to be very collectable, one tune went for ?102.00, in total i sold around ?200 tunes and made ?2,600. I don t think it is going quite as well now, I cornered the market for a couple of month but a lot of people seem to be trying to cash in on it now.
I have 5 tunes left to sell which are amazing but relatively unknown so i want to give sound clips with these to maxime profit.

There are various ways of doing it and some are more elegant (from a user perspective) than others. However, the simplest / quickest / dirtiest way of doing it is just to link to the sound file (.mp3 / .wav?) format in exactly the same way you'd link to any other resource and get the user to click on it. If you want to email me the sound clips, I'll host them and send you the little bit of code you'd need to insert in your auction page.

YouSendIt (http://www.yousendit.com/) was mentioned by another user; it's piss-simple to use, just tell it where the file lives on your computer, stick in an email address (your legit address is good, since that way you'll have a backup of the link you'll need). The only downside: links are only good for 7 days and/or 25 downloads, whichever comes first.
However there are a lot of competitors without those requirements: MegaUpload (http://www.megaupload.com/) links last for 30 days and an unlimited number of downloads, long enough to cover any auction. However, YSI's download speeds are faster...
Since it looks like you've got a friend who can host for you, this is all kind of trivial. But it's good stuff to remember if you want to share files with other people more often and don't have your own web/FTP space.
