there is no way in Heck that someone would sell all this with no starting bid of at least 2,000.00. If this is for real I am gonna jump on this thing. Tell me your thoughts of the item

+1 on the reserve. Prob low starting bid to get attention, then after tons of people have been watching it for a few days, the bids will sky rocket up into the normal to high price range. either that, or, it's stolen.

stolen or not. I am the current high bidder with 500 right now. I aslo have a max of 600 if someone tries to take it. I wont go past 1000 for it. I don't need it I just want it. If the good lord wants me to have it he will lure all the other bidders away. Oh well I just got myself an electric fan and will post some pics when I get it tommorw. I am tired of hearing that dang thing make all that wind noise when I rev it up. NOT NO MORE

That has 6 days left and already 6 bids... i bet you that will be close to 3,000 when it ends... a lot of people are already probably not looking at it and just waiting til the end to try to get a quick buy too.

There's no reserve on it. You can see that just by reading the thing.

This guy knows that it's going to for a decent price and he's not afraid to list it with no reserve and a low starting price because he knows that more people will bid on it that way. He's got great feedback and I wouldn't be afraid to do business with him. Just watch. He'll do great.

if you want it why would you post a deal like that on a Mustang site and tell everyone what you are going to bid

Click to expand...

I thought I was going to be the one to point that out.

OBVIOUSLY there's no way the thing is going to end at any price near what it's at now, and by listing cheap without a reserve he saves money from the listing fee. I'd have said 'everyone knows that' but apparently a bunch here didn't

I sell tons of stuff on eBay and everything I sell, even high dollar items ($2k+), I always start at $.99 with no reserve because people like you say to themselves "holy crap, no reserve and $.99, I'm gonna freakin bid like crazy!!" and most of the time my auctions end up going for more than the average eBay going price for that particular item. (no offense or anything, that's just how some people think)

I never put reserve on any of my stuff because most of the time I know people that are interested in it know what if goes for new or used in the market and it always ends up at or above what I hoped to get for it. I'd love to get my hands on that blower, but It will skyrocket to about the normal price before the damn auction ends. :-(

Well I'm done bidding, just checked and that thing is 1250.00 and rising and it is still the first day. I should bid just to make it go higher so the other guy has to pay alot , but that would be wrong of me now wouldn't it . No I will leave it alone now and just see what the winning bid is. Hope somebody enjoys it. Cause I will never ever get the chance.
