One thing I have learned about Ebay is if you set your starting bid too high you won't get any bids. People tend to like to think that they can get it "maybe" for a cheap price, then they get caught up in the action of trying to win the item. If you relist, keep the reserve and buy it now price the same but make the starting bid $1,000 or something.

You'll either:

A) Get your selling price.

A) Sell it for more than the asking price, I have even seen auctions go over the Buy it now price (fricking idiots)

B) You might also get a bid that doesn't meet your reserve, but is just a bit below and you might decide to sell it anyways to them.

Also by setting the starting bid so low you will jack up your bid count. Why is this good? Because people look at that when browsing... "high bid count, must be a good item"

The auction got pulled, the did notice

10, a big fat hen.

oops, my bad. haven't sung that song since kindergarten so you'll forgive me if it's a big fuzzy.

It is my wife's X5

Thanks! I think you are right. I should have started lower. I just figured that was a decent price. If someone wanted it for that price....

Ebay is a game, you are totally right

Maybe someone will just buy it for the license plate....
