Starting bid $149.99?! Sheesh... :förbryllad:

It's been a while since I've auctioned anything, but starting everything at a penny I always ended up with more than I expected at the end. A seller like this might as well do a Buy It Now if they're not willing to let the auction process play out.

I couldn't agree with you more! Actually, I start my auctions at 99¢ if I put it in one category, or $1.99 if I put it in two catagories. That way, if it only gets one bid, at least I'm getting the money that eBay charges me for posting the auction in the first place. But yeah, starting an auction at an excessively high price is just plain rediculous.

Good idea. Fortunately I've never been caught having to sell something low, but the 99¢/$1.99 minimum is a good strategy just in case.
In a way, though, I kind of like the idea that someone could possibly win one of my auctions for a cent. I'd love to think that someday I might get lucky enough to win something I really want for a penny, so in the same spirit I don't mind giving other people the chance too. :)
I'm glad to see this auction ended with ZERO bids. :tillfreds:
