I saw it last night, seem like a nice model. As of 8:00 central time it is at $762, with 9 days left we will see what it brings?

I would venture to guess it will bring around $8,000-$9,000

Only time will tell!

$100.00 Start Price ran up to $6300.00 with 35 bids.
Reserve Not Met

With what eBay charges for listing fee's, especially with the percentage they charge based on the reserve which is no longer refunded as of around Feb. of last year (2008) he would be farther ahead to go with the Buy it Now or Best Offer format and Start High with the automatically accepted offer range set where he originally had his reserve price.

They take a higher percentage of the final selling price, but it still sometimes works out cheaper in the long run than paying for reserve fee's if you list an item more than twice.

$0.35 to $1.50 listing fee for 30 days versus $50.00-$100.00+ on a weekly basis until it sells coupled with maybe lowering your reserve each time ultimitely taking less than you wanted plus paying the outrageous fee's.
