--- Quote from: "Manicminer" ---I bought a camera with no bids at the last minute for £3 and I had trouble with the seller as she would not sell for the price - it was worth more. She should have had a reserve price if she wanted a minimum for it.

ps she did send it before the week was out :wink:

I had the same problem when I bought my Vitara, the guy put a start price of £800 with no reserve and that's what I got it for as I was the only bidder. He tried to back out of the deal but I told him I would take legal action as the auction was legally binding.

At a time when NATO hitches were going for £30+ for a cruddy one, I found a VGC one attached to a LDV bumper on eBay.  I paid £15 and asked them to remove the bumper before they sent it and throw the bumper away.  It surprised me that all the people bidding on the £30 ones hadn't thought of this.

I've seen several things going for £100+ more than the shop price though.  Serves the buyer right if you ask me.

--- Quote from: "Mudlark" ---But that's an eBay fault as you can't put a reserve on for less than £50

That doesn't apply outside Motors, as far as I know.

Yoshi:
