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.
