    Default E-bay question and 740 wheels ending in 5 min...

    Can you bid on your own item to bump the price? The seller has bid enough to meet his/her reserve, but why set it so low that you have to bid to beet it??

    740 wheels

    No.. Bidding on your own items is called shill bidding and violates ebay's policies.

    Nevermind, I was so exited I read it wrong. The seller was not bidding on his own item. A guy could get a bad rep for spreading rumours like that.

    Still interesting, three 16" 740 wheel with good tires just sold for $30. Not a bad deal if you can find another....

    Going to crawl in a hole I bought on e-bay, great deal

    I wonder what the shipping charge was?
