I am not going to be 21 until November, so I can't gamble yet :grin:. The reserve means that the seller has set a price that he or she wants for the car. It could be $12,000, if someone bids that, then the reserve is met and the car will sell. Otherwise, it will not sell and the seller has the chance to offer it to someone who bid.

QUOTE(sonatalove @ Jun 28 2008, 06:47 PM) If the reserve is $15,000, the seller is not willing to sell it for anything below 15,000. Maybe someone who does lots of buying and selling on ebay can correct me if I'm wrong. The seller can decide not to sell if if the reserve is NOT met. [right][snapback]172933[/snapback][/right]
You are correct, it's too avoid selling an item for alot less then needed. Unfortunately most times you do not know what the reserve is so you'll have to keep bidding.

Wow.. and it didn't even get to 9k on the first try. Relisted, maybe with a lower reserve? Let's wait and see if it sells this time around.

QUOTE(MiamiLX @ Jul 1 2008, 02:42 PM) So where is the great Deal. I mean that is full Retail.
When you buy something on ebay, how do you know what to pay?
Thanks for getting to the bottom line for us! :thumbsup:
Still don't understand ebay. :whistling: [right][snapback]173499[/snapback][/right]
Often times products will have "buy it now prices" so you know exactly how much you are going to pay. Other times they will have a starting bid say $100 and a buy it now price of $150. You can do one of two things. You can click buy it now and pay the $150 and the item is yours. Or you can bid on the item (you enter your maximum bid) say $120. Once you bid, typically the buy it now function goes away, and you have to hope that other people don't bid the price up. If no one else bids on the item, you pay $100. If others bid on the item, ebay will automatically re-bid on your behalf up to your maximum bid price ($120 in this example). Once someone else enters a maximum bid of more than $120 ebay wil no longer bid on your behalf until you enter a higher maximum bid price. If you are bidding on an auction without a buy it now price (assuming no reserve), the best time to bid is right before the auction ends. That way you don't give a chance to others to bid the price up.

Ebay for dummies....right here! :clap: I've just always clicked the "buy it now" button. BECAUSE I want it NOW. Not later. :grin: Saves a lot of time. :shades:
