Default high bid

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6432

'88 5-speed with 25,476 miles. Looks quite nice.

this will be interesting to watch. No Reserve, starts bidding at $24,000 and 1:10 minutes later he has a $26,000 bid. Next day he has 2 more bidders.

Fully sorted, fully updated and maintained, 25k miles, that does tend to build a fire under a lot of buyers.

with nearly 8 more days to go WHY would anyone be bidding now ????? Just to say that they were high bidder at one time ? to get all excited about the car they are "buying" ? To be able to have buyers remorse for a few days while not actually buying anything ? Just plan weird , mental ************....
and yes shill bidding is always a possibility.
Maybe several people are really interested but I doubt they have made any bids .....and note that the seller reserves the right to cancel the "auction" at any time !!! Which makes it NOT a "no reserve" auction...

Exactly my thoughts on the bids
Yes I had a reserve set on the car
If it goes it goes and I am on to a GTS
Sold my 993 already to a newbie RL'er 10 days ago and it was never even advertised as for sale
Thought I would have more interest here like I did on the 993 forum

I had aprox 140 "watchers" and thousands of "lookers" when selling a diesel pusher motorhome on a 10 day ebay listing a few years ago. It did not sell before the listing ended, and I was a bit surprised. A man contacted me a few days after the listing and bought it. Like James said, it just looks way to early for such high bidding. It is a very nice 928, and really do hope that it sells for the high dollar. It will help all of our cars value as it should. Good luck with your sale. 77Tony

Nice car though still needs some deferred maint items to be performed before it would be considered truly maintenance current. Fuel lines for example.

$25k seems high but I like that the bids are rising. That is good for all 928's.

I really like the interior.

Yes. Did we say something inappropriate? Very nice car. A solid 9 out of ten.
