my guess...some shills bid it to just below reserve, or seller decided that he would take $147, 101 for the car ( hmmm....) and voila, no real bidders over the $147,100 shilled bid. now, if he was to take 147,101 don't ya think he would say to the next higher bidder at 147,100 " OK ITS YOURS ? "..sure he would is my guess, and if not sold to that bidder, shill confirmed.....seems stinky to me on the surface anyway. my skeptical outlook anyway without knowing full details. bill,motown -----Original Message----- From: Joe Bright [mailto:jbb@apcabinets.com] Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 3:36 PM To: Shelby Subject: 1968 Shelby GT500 Convertible on eBay OK, I must be clueless on this eBay auction phenomena so please explain this predicament to me. This Shelby gets bid up to $147,100 without meeting the reserve. Then the seller lowers the reserve to $147,101 so that the next bid meets the reserve and look what happens. The car sits there for 2 days with no bids and the auction ends without the car selling. Is there anybody out there that can explain this to me? Thanks, Joe Bright.
