2 hours left on e-bay. Do I bid on my own auction? - RC-Monster Forums

_paralyzed_ · 08:47 PM

I'm selling a t-maxx. There are 8 watchers, but 0 bids.

Do I bid on it?> from my mom's account to start a bidding war? Or just hope they are last second bidders?

Let it roll, if you bid and it sells to you you will have to pay fees. Honestly if you get 325 I will be suprised...

Part it out, best way to get money back.

On your first question about bidding on your own ebay add.

Its one of the fastest ways to loose your ebay account.
Ebay calls it price bumping and its a big NO NO in their eyes.

True, but it is near impossible to get caught. I have done it plenty before, and i even used the same computer to do it. Like i said its next to impossible to get caught.

Harold just lower your reserve a little and relist it. Don't gamble with no reserve, or you may just end up selling it for $5 to one bidder (James). Drop your price $50 and see what happens. Have your helper clean up the truck and take a better pic of this super NONE BL truck and get-er-done Amego.

You may want to change the ending days on your listings. Having an auction end on a Wednesday isn't going to get you much views. Sunday evening is the best day to end your auctions for maximum exposure. If you have any white poster board you may want to make a white background to take pictures on too. The pictures are what sell the item. For the main pic you may want to take one at a different angle to hook people into having to click on the actual auction to see what it's all about. Just some friendly advice from somebody that does this for a living =)

Thank you! If it doesn't go for it's lowered reserve I will definitely implement these suggestions in my next auction.

I ebay a lot. Any other tips?

JERRY2KONE · **Yes -** 03.22.2011, 06:08 AM

YES. Hang in there Harold. The past is behind you(& so is James), the present is sitting on your face, and the future is at the brothle waiting for your call. You'll be fine there Kiddo. SMILE tomorrow is the start of a new day.

Start with 0.99$ price, I can bid to 200-250$ on my second account. If I remain the high bidder you'll only need to pay the listing fees (if you use supersized pics and other stuff)
