Ernie,

It's a sales ploy that happens more and more on Ebay these days...Wait until the last hour of the "no reserve" auction, then pull the plug and cancel the bids saying the car is no longer for sale, when in fact, it gets relisted a month down the road under another user name. Like the Kirkhams, I've done a number of "no reserve" auctions...Each one went off without a hitch, each one brought me more than it normally would due to last minute (as in the last two-three minutes) bidders.......To each his own.........Like you, I do not agree with this type of tactic...if the seller has an offer of 25K, then perhaps that buyer should be bidding on Ebay.............
