Been keeping an eye on that one....not to buy,just looking.
Its jumped $700.00 today,the interest is there and just a few kms up the road too.
Nice example by the looks of it.

I put a bid on it early but I don't need it not going to force the price up on something I don't desperatley want if it was a 400z I would have a big bid on for sure wouldn't be able to help myself.

Why do peeble bid up the price early in the auction? I just assumed it was owner or friends getting it as high as they can before the frenzy starts or do some folks think they can put others off by early strong bids?

monaro308 · « **Reply #6 on:** March 15, 2011, 10:14:38 am »

It maybe both.
Sometimes in my case i may have to put an early high bid (if i really want it) because i might be away with work.
If i get it,good. If not,bad luck.
Some try and inch up with their bids to see what its up to and retract their last bid that goes over yours.

I'm with Monaro - if I cant get near the internet for a while I will put my best price forward early - but then it needs other people to bid upwards to effect it?

Just to put the feelers out and suss out what other bidders are doing/going to do/see how much interest is in the item.

Yes i think so, but i tend to only place bids at the last minute. No point in artificially driving up the price at the start and then everyone gets all frenzied and goes on a bidding war. You see that a lot with ebay 'newbies' with only a few stars and still learning the ropes. The experienced ones sit back and wait and pounce at the end.

And now it's 7 bids @ $1000, its going backwards!

monaro308 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 15, 2011, 10:22:34 pm »

I like those type of auctions...start high and bid backwards

oldskool · « **Reply #12 on:** March 15, 2011, 10:23:04 pm »

if the bidding keeps going this way i might even have a bid

BAHNZY · « **Reply #13 on:** March 16, 2011, 10:54:58 pm »

It gets better
Its now at 5 bids for $960 (What the ?)

Maybe the people bidding where all jokers I might actually win it I am leading the auction I will honour my bid if I win but don't understand how I could.
