Yeah, they start off low, but I'm sure the guy has a really high reserve set.
I watched a pretty decent crawler on there once that never did reach its reserve. It started at like $500 and ended (due to time) at around $27K, but didn't sell because it didn't hit the reserve.
there is a science to ebay, i don't know it all, but you start an item low and it goes better. start the same item hi, less action. that auction just started, and there's 3 bids, it will get a ton of bids, and go way up.
and they sky rocket in the last half hour or less. i love ebay.
ebay is weird, when it starts low, more people bid. and i think its instinct, once you've bid, you want to win. so then you get more people fighting and boosting the price. reserve gets met, and exceeded on a popular item.
start higher, where you think it should be, less people bid. its like the lower bidders wouldn't have started bidding at a higher price, but now they're bidding, and thinking about having that thing.
it's not a miliarty jeep. it is a civilian CJ-3A painted and setup to look like a military jeep.
they did go to great lengths, but not a military jeep.
A friend and coworker of mine just sold a WWII (I beieve it was an M3B) for $10K. Period correct and even had the radio that went with it.
