Should have started the auction a lot lower so that people would actually start bidding on it and build up some momentum.

You ebay noob:)

typically when i look at ebay, i just look to see if the reserve is met, if it’s not, i don’t even bother with the auction.

i usually just put it on my watch list until the auction is nearing the end. (within hours) and then see if I want to do anything about it.

what your doing is pretty much the same as throwing it on autotrader with an asking price, except with a time limit. so at least a lot of people will be seeing it. :tup:

GLWTS.

yeah… definitely want to just make it no reserve, and start it at like 10-12k so you can get bidders and people watching it. just add a line into the terms of the auction that you reserve the right to end early as the car is also F/S locally… and if the bid doesn’t get to where you want in the last few mins of the auction - end away…

sux for the high bidder but that’s how it goes.

FYI withing 12 hours of auction end, you cannot end the auction no matter what

if there are bids you have to cancel them first and usually get shit about it…thats how it works for ebay motors auctions

edit: doh beat me to it

^ oops good info. sorry newman i almost just cost u $ 15k. lolol

edit: but, its not like you would have to go thru w/ the transaction anyway. worst case you end up paying ebay fees and talk the high bidder out of a bad feedback by saying you found something wrong w/ the car.
