Some times ebay buyers are retarded. I had a arcade board that I listed once and it did not hit my reserve so it did not sell. My reserve was 115. Now I relisted this and its about to end in 1 hour. My Buy it now the first time was 175 which was a bit high but thats the price for wanting it now. The second time I lowered it to 155 and once I hit my reserve well that option went away. I lowered my reserve to 75 this time. Right now its at 185! I guess last week was a bad week for ebay?

Bidding war. The buyer will pay to beat the competition. Now it's all about ego.

Been there done that. I used to get mad (and sometimes still do) when I get out bid. Now if I get out bid I look for a better deal. It all depends though on what it is, how rare it is...ect, ect. The funny this is a board EXACTLY like mine just ended 3 hours ago and only went for 132. I did tell the current high bidder that I would work a trade out for his one game board I want but thats not to say I am going evens stevens.

My dad just sold an ALL ORIGINAL numbers matching '68 El Camino SS396 for $7000. He should have gotten way more than that but it really just depends on what month/week you post it.

Depends on if a holiday falls on the end date, if it ends day or night hell, if the weather is bad it can have a huge effect on the final price.

I've been on both ends of that. I prefer when it works in my favor  Ebay can be finnicky - one days an item is hot, the next day it's dead. Like said above, it also depends if it falls on a weekend, what time it ends, etc, etc. Plus, I've found the more pics you have and the better description, the better it sells, usually. Matthew |

Well I checked out the El Caminos, Panteras and a nice Beaver Solitaire motor home. One of the good things about not having any money to piss away is you don't piss away any money.

I had a lot of photos and I put in a video of game play as well. I think that really had a HUGE inpact on everything. The guy who won is trading me a Zero Point board which we valued at $60 and the remaining cash 120!
