Sitting on a Sunny Lot somewhere in Plantation FL is this Sonata.

Is ebay the best way to buy a Sonata?. You would have until tomorrow.

Are these type of Sales for real? What does 'Certified' mean. And is

purchasing from an actual Dealer, even though listed on ebay safer?

I think someone needs their prescription changed on their glasses. :bwekk:. It says reserve not yet met. Will you buy it for me? :grin:

It does look like a "clean" car.

I have never used ebay, and now there are ebay Slot Machines in the Casino. :banana:

I do not know what 'reserve' really means. But yes it is time to see the Eye Dr.!

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.

So the price started at $3000. It is now up to $6600. Then tomorrow

the person who listed it can decide not to sell it?

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.

That sounds fair. Don't they have to list a reserve price though?

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.

If the reserve price is $15,000, but the product does not seem worth that much, people may not bid up. By not showing the reserve price, the seller can have a peace of mind whether to sell it or not, and the price can go up above the price the seller is willing to sell for.

I don't buy cars unless I can test drive it first. Sometimes you can get good deals on Ebay, but you may have to forgo warranties on certain goods.

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:

The great thing about ebay is, you pay what you want and no more than that. If the item goes more than you want to pay, well then there will always be something better! :banana:

I think someone needs to buy "Ebay for Dummies" :bwekk:

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.

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.
