But if the winning bid is 11p
I'd be obliged to buy a car myself to place the ad on, totally defeating the whole point of the exercise.

Please newsletter it anyway! pretty please?

start low
you'll get some bids

start high and it's a hard hard sell

Ok!
I'll do it!
You know what you're talking about and I trust you!

I'll change it just as soon as I get home from work, eBay is blocked. :(

Can't you set a reserve?
I think I should have done that, as I'm now in danger of not even covering the fees on my car (see above).
Nice idea by the way, good luck with it.

I don't like reserves
They're like a starting price but hidden and I think people give up if they come up againt a reserve that's higher that their first bid.
