after a bid was placed on an item with no reserve? Here is my auction with one bid but the buy it now is still there.

Thanks

Better for you if it stays, and in my opinion, the buy it now was kind of a waste of money if you start an auction at 99 cents. Unless you get a guy that sees your auction in the first few hours and just has to have it, you're gonna get a bid and it will disappear. But maybe not always as yours is still there.

Yeah, your right it is a waste but I figured as you said, what if someone had to have it. Its strange its still there though

It's an ebay Motors Parts & Accessories category thing. They're testing out a different format for ending non-reserve BIN's with a bid:

I think it's a good idea, the gun auction site I use works that way. It should be better for sales, as you can still start your auction low to increase the number of bidders, but the buy-it-now option is there if someone comes along and has to have it.

Matt, you might be able to get rid of the project car here. I haven't had a 3rd gen in about 10 years but used to go there for parts and to get rid of parts. I don't think it costs to list there and even at the worst you can link your ebay auction there.

Hey HeritageAddict, what gun auction site do you use? I am a Police Officer looking for a small off duty gun, the gun shops around here are way over-priced, even with a discount. Thought I would try the auction route...John

No spinnas at this house

The wheels are in boxes in my garage where they have been for a few years. I planned on putting them on my Camaro but I have lost interest in it. Plus the car and all the junk for it take up valuable space I can use to pile up other junk

what gun auction site do you use?

I use www.gunbroker.com. As long as you have a place where the gun can be delivered, it is great.

try gunbroker or auctionarms.com..

HeritageAddict · July 30, 2007 7:55AM

gunsamerica.com is another good one, although it's more of a classifieds site there are some deals to be found.
