thats a guarantee that it will sell. i have bought things from ebay and sold things. if you put the starting bid too high it wont sell. i read somewhere if you put up something for sale and a week later you have no bids then the price is too high. i had things where i thought the start price was fair but noone bid.then i reduce the price $20 less than what i thought was the fair value and this stimulated a bid war and fetched me a higher price than i was asking in the first place.its smart to do a $1 bid that way someone will definately bid on it and they will end up in a frenzy. i know this guy locally that sells a bunch of ww1 stuff on ebay but his prices are ridiculous things like $90 for a high tech voisin start bid.its been sitting there almost a year unsold.if he would start it a $39.99 it would definately sell and good chance he would get his $90. most of his stuff sits forever.
