I had to call the seller of the gold car and he tells me he has turned down 100k from a guy - I asked him the guys name and who he told me the guy's name was had bought a car from me over two years ago - so I called him(!) Guess what? He offered the guy 100k for the car, this morning, and the seller thinks the car is worth 120k so he parlayed the guy and told him to call back after the auction and, if it had not sold, he would talk further with him. Then the guy asked me a question (because I had to laugh about the 100k offer and the turn down) - he said - "Steve, what do you have for sale for 100k RIGHT NOW"? And I said "nothing" - He said "point well taken" "I need a car and this looks to be a very good car - I am a buyer" Ya know, he made his point and he is right - Mike, Jim, Bob, Colin, what do you guys have for 100k RIGHT NOW that would be comparable (or better) then the gold car??? Prices are rising....................supply is shrinking Look at the BOSS 302 market - what is that all about - $ 65k buys you a DRIVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > > From: "Mike McCullough" <mike@worldwidemusclecars.com> > Date: 2005/02/07 Mon PM 10:24:28 GMT > To: "shelbyparts" <shelbyparts@msn.com>, "D" <mmoguls@ispwest.com>, > "Robert Gaines" <bgaines@kc.rr.com> > CC: <ShelbyMustang@carmemories.com> > Subject: Re: HIGHER AND HIGHER > > I use Private auctions when I sell my cars on ebay.

I have been considering hiding the bidders ID during some up coming parts Ebay auction's because of the practice of others soliciting bidders while a auction is still on. This sometimes keeps a bidder from bidding higher because they buy offline before the auction is over . I know it has happened before because I have been informed by buyers who were contacted during bidding. I myself have been contacted after bidding on items. I had one bidder contact me sometime after a auction was over to see if i had another one of the items I had listed for sale because after buying from someone who contacted him while bidding on one of my auction's he later received a bogus part . I wonder how many deals I have missed that I didn't know about. I understand your concern towards running up a auction but there are some legitimate reasons as well.
