That's how the online GSA Auctions work. They do have a weakness,
however. I suppose you could make the smallest incremental bid
repetitively over several hours which would cause the auction to end
in the wee hours of the morning when no one else was awake or
motivated enough to bid against you.
I am an even bigger fan of the make offer option. I've gotten some real
deals that way, with no fear of sniping.

CL is just online classifieds right? AFAIK they don't give sellers any
tools and buyers are not registered at all.
That's certainly simple especially compared to ebay; is there some
middle ground that would be prefereable from a seller's standpoint? I
assume some way to have an idea of other

I'm with you. I posted my '82 300D on eBay about a month ago, and it
was immediately bid up to my reserve price by a guy in Austin. I
thought why would a guy in Austin bid on this car? but he had quite
a history and a 100% approval rating, so I was pretty comfortable
with it.

I have never run into that scenario before, although I can see how that
could happen pretty easy. All I do know is that ebay used to be great
until they started messing with it. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

Your 'vote', such as it is, is many times more effective if accompanied
by a well-written (firm, but polite) complaint to the management
explaining your position. Best, of course, is rather than say 'never'

There is a place called ioffer.com.Ubid.com has been around for a

somebody they knew. Ubid has listings for used cars, but I don't think
there is a category for parts. It caters more toward consumer electronics.

Ebay has on and will never have any REAL competition because they are just
so damned good from a bidder's perspective. I love the thrill of sniping in
my winning bid at the end of a hot auction.

Those are good points. For most parts, I think a buy it now of best
