Your comment to me is a little antagonistic and I am not sure what I said to to offend you, or deserve it. I have bought and sold a fair amount on ebay, not a power seller, but my ratings are over 100 with 100% positive reviews. I have bought and sold a lot of vehicles there. I have never fallen for an "auction gimmick" nor have I participated in one. I said I don't think his price was a bargain, I said I think it would sell quickly here in New England, I said I would love to have it.
In this case the seller clearly did not bid on his own stuff as it received no bids. He put up with a high starting price, probably because he does not have a lot of experiences with auctions and wanted to protect his interest.
In my comments, and understanding the outcome of this auction, exactly why am I the reason that people bid on their own stuff on eBay?
I agree and I too was puzzled how the comment came about.
