you guys noticed how a really nice, well-documented Shelby will get bid up to an exorbitant price but it won't meet the seller's reserve then the following week it will be back on eBay but very few bidders will even bid on it and the top bid will end up at about 25% of what it was in the first auction? I've noticed this with Shelby collectables as well. What is the deal? Are the bidders taking a hands off approach on the second auction as protest or do they think that the reserve is an absurd figure? Curious as to what other Shelby enthusiasts thought was happening.
Maybe the ultimate buyer makes a deal with the seller during the first auction.... then the second auction is staged to cover the tracks... and the deal is made off line to avoid the ebay fee???? Cynical Jimbo...
If the bidders in the first auction feel they bid fairly, they might not want to bother with the charade at all anymore. The bidders move on to more reasonable sellers.
