anyone ever buy a wrangler on ebay?
I'm interested in a wrangler on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4548569512 This wrangler was totaled (salvaged) but my Dad looked at it (it's near where he lives) and he has a friend who owns a collision shop who can get it retitled. This jeep has no reserve on it but i have a feeling that the seller has a friend who is bidding on it to get the price up. I looked at his last item he sold and this same bidder showed up there! (bidder: mixkm8thq) This bidder has had an item that this seller has bid on as well (item 4548569512) Does ebay allow this? I would love to buy this wrangler but I would like to buy it for under $2000., fair and square! (My Dad said it would cost me about $1500.-$2000. to get it road-ready) If anyone is more versed in ebay buying, i could use some tips! Thanks, Denise |

It may be a coincident, i guess you never know. I did notice however, in one of the pictures on that auction, there is a rear view of the vehicle. On the windshield (in reverse) it has a price tag of $2995. If the bidder you mentioned exceeds that price, you may be on to something. I own a '93 wrangler with a salvaged title and it was a lot of red tape getting a title, be cautious. Good luck, walt '93 yj |

Re: anyone ever buy a wrangler on ebay?
No, they can't have a friend bid on Ebay for you, but people do it all the
time. I don't know if Ebay polices it or not. Best case is they may cancel the auction. The best way to get something on ebay is to 'snipe' it. You place your bid at the last possible minute. There are even software packages around that will do this for you. You enter the auction number, and your bid about. A few seconds before the bid auction ends your bid is placed. If he has a buddy bidding on it, this will keep him/her from placing another bid after you do, unless his bid is higher than $2000. I'd like to see an option in Ebay to automatically extend the auction by an hour after the most recent bid. <denball3636@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1115750061.813948.272720@f14g2000cwb.googlegr oups.com... > I'm interested in a wrangler on ebay: > http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=4548569512 > This wrangler was totaled (salvaged) but my Dad looked at it (it's near > where he lives) and he has a friend who owns a collision shop who can > get it retitled. > This jeep has no reserve on it but i have a feeling that the seller has > a friend who is bidding on it to get the price up.
