I guess I started this thread, so let me chime in: If you have the nerve,
a no-reserve, no-mimimum bid gets more bids, more interest, and many times a
higher price then an "I can't take the risk" auction.I love the excitement of a 'real' auction, but even I get a bit nervous that
ebay will go down or no one is finding the auction in the search... I do
have high confidence that ebay has enough bidders in general to be a real
market -- (so you want a fair price let the market tell you what fair is)If you want to watch, I have a second powerbook 2400c up for auction with no
minimum, no reserve...http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=407497555
I expect it to bring about $800.00 - $900.00 it will go like this... It
will reach about 500.00 in the first 2 days, and no activity until the last
day, and then it will float up to about 700.00 -- then on to 850.00 in the
last hour. (9 o'clock friday night :)I try and make sure my auctions close at a popular "surf" time.
