Real Auctions are No Reserve Auctions!

In my opinion, a No Reserve Auction show you what you item is worth in realistic value. Like Bill S. said more people lately have been using the No Reserve Auction as a sales ploy though and the owner gets cold feet before the auction ends. Then, relist later with a reserve under another user name.

An auction with a reserve is not an auction at all but, a sell price that the owner will take for it plus any extra he can get because he does not know what it is worth.

I have bought two cars off of eBay auctions in the past (a Volvo no reserve and a Dodge Truck with a reserve). The one thing I am amazed with about Cobra eBay auctions are the way so many never meet the reserve price. The owners have a much higher value on their Cobras then, the general nationwide public is willing to pay.

Anyway, I guess I will fall for this game again and bid on this Cobra. I just hope this once this owner does not disappoint me and pull the auction early.
