My thought for the day

What if you listed something on ebay and offered each high bidder a free silver quarter, even if they don't win

Sounds like a good idea...... to lose a lot of money.

Ahhhh, when bidding on ebay, if you are the high bidder, you are the winner are you not?

What I mean is...each person who places a high bid along the way get a free something or another. An attempt to start a bidding frenzy if you will.

I see what you mean... however, it will depend on what you are selling. If bullion related, especially in a hot silver market, I could see the benifits.

I wonder if it would be against ebay rules

jsf

were you LBJ's campaign manager back when he was paying for votes?

Do like Oprah and give away a car. I'll bid !

edit to add:

Will shipping be free ?

Depends on what the starting bid is. If you're selling a $10 coin, and the bidding starts at $10, it doesn't seem like too bad of an idea. If the starting bid is $5 for the same $10 coin, then it wouldn't be worth it.

Or GW's when he used our children's money to give us all $300 tax rebates to buy votes?

Probably not but then I could see bids going up at minimum bid.

Also, what would the cut off point be? Bidders 1 & 2? 1, 2 & 3?

You would need to define "high bidder" as well.
