    Default OT: What's Wrong With This Car?

    $500 with 2 days left? hmm. It's a private listing... always suspicious.


    don't seal it from me either

    I don't see anything wrong with it in the pictures... they don't have one of the guages with the car running so who knows....

    Maybe the feedback is scaring people away. Do you know what the reserve is? The current bid is irrelevant because of the reserve. Who know how much that lone bid is because it goes in at the starting bid until someone else bids.

    If the reserve is right, and the car passes the smell test in other ways, I would be messaging some of those people who left positive feedback to find out if they really felt that positive or just left positive so they wouldn't get negative feedback themselves.

    As to what's wrong with the car--you need Whit's RSN.

    It's sooooooo easy to get excited over something with such a low bid- but 2 days is an eternity when it comes to Ebay- the only bid that matters is the one with 0:00 left on the clock........most Ebay sniping programs set their bids to hit with 3-10 seconds left in the auction.

    Ebay sellers LOVE folks who get so excited over their auctions with lots of time left- nothing better than sitting back and watching two (or more) bidders go at it and run the bid up, only to get sniped by a more patient bidder at the last second.....

    I've been on both sides of that one........well, actually, all 3 sides....
