This ended earlier today eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace Re-listed not long after 1989 MERCEDES 500 SEC AUTO FULL ZENDER BODYKIT AMG ALLOYS & STEERING 40,000MILES | eBay Why not set a reserve the first time round yet he says this on the advert [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]£100 non refundable deposit is required after auction ends contact to be made asap otherwise vehicle will be offered to next highest bidder and a dispute raised[/FONT]
Any auction where the identities are kept private is a non starter. I only ever snipe at auctions as leaving an earlier bid is leaving yourself open to shill bidding.
I've never understood the 'no reserve' auction and then shill bidding to get the price up; if it doesn't sell for what you want it to, it costs £10 to relist it yet a reserve is £7.99 iirc.

Sorry, I was thinking of motors, it costs us £17.99 to put a van on with £7.99 of that being the reserve.
