in theory ....kinda...

look at the amount of time those auctions have left...probably days..many of them...

check that same auction 9 days from now and you might be outbid by 9grand...


the chances of any car having a 1 dollar starting bid...and no reserve...and staying that way it's entire auction..for you to cruise in and get it is probably astronomically small

The seller probably has a minimum price at which he will sell the car.

yes you get it, but with the high traffic ebay gets i highly doubt you can get a car for a dollar. i remember keeping track of some cars way back when and they stayed low as hell right up untill the final hour and then they went way beyond their retail value. so yeah aint gong to happen but your theory is correct.

As long as the seller has not put a "reserve price" on the auction, yes.

Most car/motorcycle/boat/snowmobile/atv auctions have a reserve price set.

Does it say "Reserve Not Met" next to the current bid?

If not, I advise watching the auction until there's 4 seconds left and put in your highest bid at that point (you need to set that up in a second window).

That's called "sniping" and it's how I got my Vmax and my Road King.

I should not look for things to buy when I am high cause I think these prices and times are a hallucination. They can not be so low with so many of em.

End time: Aug-14-06 15:54:18 PDT (6 days 14 hours)

It's a 7-Day listing and it just went up 10 hours ago... In 6 days it will be priced at retail value.

Watch it and see.

Starting bid: US $500.00
Reserve not met
Get low monthly payments
Buy It Now price: US $16,920.00


No wonder there are no bids..

The Buy It Now Price is 3-4K higher than the value of the car, so buyers know that the reserve is far beyond the actual value.

The seller is DREAMING.

Just keep in mind, you get nothing for nothing. You may get a sweet deal, but not a practically free car.

Many auctions on ebay have a "reserve price", the item will not sell unless the high bid is greater than the reserve price, which is not made public.

On a side note, you might want to work on sentence composition, your post has some pretty gnarly grammar.

That link you posted has a guy with a brand new made ebay account with zero feedback. Be careful of scams.
