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.

I bought this one
http://www.sonic.net/~claudel/jeep.html
via eBay and had no problems with the transaction.
The seller described the condition accurately. I paid
the deposit as he requested, flew to the location,
spent the night, paid the balance and drove it home
without any major difficulties other than could be
expected driving a semi-open Jeep thru Southern Idaho
and Northern Nevada in February... 8 Degrees F in
Wells NV was a bit much. :^) The Jeep handled it
better than I did.
If the auction that you are interested in seems dishonest
or weird in any way, then don't bid. Hold out for something
else. There are always more auctions and not all of them are
dishonest. Check the feedback of sellers. If you can find the
emails of prior buyers e them and ask their opinion of the seller
Like the other posters suggested, if you suspect shill bidding
then contact eBay, but don't expect them to do much...
Good Luck

I bought this one
http://www.sonic.net/~claudel/jeep.html
via eBay and had no problems with the transaction.
The seller described the condition accurately. I paid
the deposit as he requested, flew to the location,
spent the night, paid the balance and drove it home
without any major difficulties other than could be
expected driving a semi-open Jeep thru Southern Idaho
and Northern Nevada in February... 8 Degrees F in
Wells NV was a bit much. :^) The Jeep handled it
better than I did.
If the auction that you are interested in seems dishonest
or weird in any way, then don't bid. Hold out for something
else. There are always more auctions and not all of them are
dishonest. Check the feedback of sellers. If you can find the
emails of prior buyers e them and ask their opinion of the seller
Like the other posters suggested, if you suspect shill bidding
then contact eBay, but don't expect them to do much...
Good Luck

That would be "shill"...
"shrill" is something else

yeah. if there is still current interest in the item, thus a real close bid
or snipe, the auctions time is extended further out each time the snipe is
placed. neat idea.
