Check this 914 Bumble Bee for sale on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1974-Porsch...=item35b78b9b09
I know vin# and paint code say it is possible but notice: 1) Sail panels coverd in vinyl with chrome trim 2) Rear 914-2.0 badge not in black plastic 3) rear lenses are euro version not re/white USA. What do you guys think! |

It always irks me when they say "No reserve auction!!!!" and then have a starting bid of $10,000. Wouldn't $10,000 then be the reserve, if he even let it sell for that and doesn't bid it up himself? Ebay is funny sometimes.

No reserve is just that...the starting bid is your starting point and the final bid takes it. Christie's and other auction houses don't start at $1.00 or $0.01......why should ebay? He does not have a reserve. There is nothing incorrect with his statement. |

Christie's and other auction houses don't start at $1.00 or $0.01......why should ebay? He does not have a reserve. There is nothing incorrect with his statement. I'm pretty sure auction houses open a no reserve auction item at some starting bid, and if no one bids immediately at that price they move down in starting bid. If they open at 10k and no one bids they will move down until someone bids, they won't say "well the starting bid wasn't met, no sale." That is however what happens on ebay all the time. On Ebay it always seems that the cars shouting no reserve are the ones with some exorbitant buy it now and a starting bid that also seems higher than the car is worth to begin with. Then it sits with no bids at that high price and it isn't sold. Hence that first starting bid is the reserve since you can't bid less than that. "No-reserve auction (NR), also known as an absolute auction, is an auction in which the item for sale will be sold regardless of price" Will that car sell for less than 10k, if you can't even bid less than 10k? |
