Gary, Gort said that "without a reserve" someone could bid $5.00 and take the car ... which is correct, and why on a high ticket item like vehicles holding a reserve is wise choice to make.

Good luck with sale Gort.

I know, but most people say they look like Viper Louvers. Is Air Flow how you describe them? I really like them. The larger Viper type seem to large, but that's just me.

Buy it now
Buy it now or make an offer
Classifieds (set price)
Auction with starting price and reserve
Auction with reserve set no starting price

These are the only ways I have done business on Ebay.

There may be more.I know these work for me.

I prefer Buy it now but Auction w/reserve and starting price will work too.

350 transactions / no problems. 100% score

If you list an item for auction and a starting price and someone just bids the starting price, I don't see how that does anything. The buyer knows he can not buy the item for the starting price. He also knows that is not the reserve. The ONLY thing that might be on the buyers mind is that if no one buys he has his name as a contact to sell for the starting price if the seller will go for it.

Your last paragraph is TOTALLY WRONG. If I list a Prowler for $29,750 and someone bids THAT STARTING price, he wins the auction IF NO ONE ELSE BIDS.
If you start the auction at 29,750 and the reserve is 29,751 he wouldn't win and it wouldn't sell. Once it gets up into the higher dollars, you can't just raise the bid by a penny or $5. It graduates as the price goes up. I don't recall if it is $ 50, 100 or 250 increments, but it does go up as the price goes up.
The opening bid can win. If I post something for one cent and someone bids one cent, without a reserve, it sells.

not if there is a reserve

Ebay said the bidder could be contacted and offered the car for the starting price he bid if I wanted to sell it for that. I said yes. He was contacted and replied with a phone number. I called 3 times and never got an answer.The buyer is in Co. I don't think he'd drive a 3700 round trip miles to buy a Prowler. But if he wants it ,it's here.

The stock orginal side panels w/lights and the stock grill and stock mudflaps and car cover are worth around $1000. I threw that into the deal. I'm all in.

Hi Gary, my post wasn't too clear (much like this thread is getting). Without a reserve and without a starting bid, then yes, someone could bid $5.00 and take the car.

My post here was not directed at you but apparently you feel guilty or paranoid. I can't help it that you are a freak w/many issues. You're the bully here it. So why don't you try bending over for that warm feeling wise a$$. Too bad if you don't like political I'll make another donation for you.

Who the hell is arlo? I have no clue. Are you talking to me? If so, let me know.

I am sorry but like you, I don't live in the land of denial and fantasy.

I have had enough of you and others like you that pretend to be innocent when most of us here know damn well that all you want to do is stir things up, get someone going and hope they post something you can use against them from that point forward.

Here are the size four shoes I have waiting for you.

And NO Robin, apparently we can't all get along. Not as long as there are folks here that stir up crap while pretending to be innocent victims.
