Why don't people just say what they are or start their auction price higher? -Colin >> the trick to ebay or any auction is the game of momentum. when you are interested in bidding, you like to start at the real deal low price, and if you want something bad enough, you compete with other bidders and that raises the price. by starting at the high price, you'll notice that those on ebay that start at a rediculously HIGH price find NO ONE bidding, including ME! and sometimes the starting bid is actually LOWER than the same products also being bid on, but again, that momentum factor is REAL!!!!
