Stayed at $6100.00. I would find that a bit suspicious and it makes me think he has friends bidding on it to up the price. If I was at $6100 as a bidder and really wanted the car, what's another $100?

[michael.warshaw]

That was my 6100 dollar bid, i would say exactly hat that hes having friends bid on it.

Years ago, when you could still see bidder ID's and dig deeply into past auction results, I seriously thought about bidding on a very nice '51 Plymouth. I started researching the seller, and discovered that his cars always seemed to attract the same three bidders, and he was bidding up their stuff as well. I held off on bidding, and, lo and behold, the last $3,000.00 of bids were propelled by the same three people. An outsider got the car, and I really think it was a case of bid-running.

I even notified eBay, with detailed data that I had accumulated, and they did nothing about the seller, as usual.

Ebay did something. They started hiding the bidders name so nobody could complain anymore. Cut there complains down to almost zero.

E-bay would be shooting them self in the foot...remember..the lister pays them not the bidder..

[michael.warshaw]

i love the car, but i smelled something fishy, and i called hes a dealer not a enthusiast.

[Jim Saraceno]

I still don't understand how you guys determined what the reserve figure is?

[Young Ed]

The auction description states the reserve. Something I believe is a good idea for high ticket items.

in the auction description the seller said the reserve is 6200.

That is my feeling too. A '49 Dodge sedan. I had forgotten about that commercial. A real hoot.

Oh my gosh - I remember that commercial from way back. Clara Peller was friggin hilarious! I never paid much attention to what she was driving, but that's a '49 Dodge, and I now have one of those sitting in my garage! Weird!

I bought this 49 Club Coupe about 6 years ago and was told by the sellers that is was the car they used in the commercials. The gave me a newspaper article with Clara sitting in front of the car. I didn't buy the story but I did buy the car and named it Clara for fun. Shoot....I guess I sold the article along with the car.

[Jim Saraceno]

in the auction description the seller said the reserve is $6200.

Duh!

So if he states what the reserve price is, why do you suppose he didn't just start the bidding there?

[BobT-47P15]

Sometimes I don't understand the sellers thinking either.

Some will NOT tell you their reserve, even if you ask....which I have

a few times.

They naturally want to get the most they can.

I guess when the buy it now price is only maybe $100 over

the first bid price, that must be what they'd take.

When I have sold smaller items on ebay, I would make the first

bid amount what I would take for the item if only one bid were

made. Anything above that would be gravy.
