WHY ??? in the world are these cars selling like this?

all of thes bids start at $1.00 , but then if you select buy it now it is more like $30,000 and they all are coming from the same place, is there some catch in the fine print, cuz i wanna know whats really going on here http://motors.listings.ebay.com/_Cars-Trucks_Ford-Automatic_W0QQa10239Z10427QQa38v1yZ1998QQa38v2yZ2007QQa39Z1946QQa41ZQ2d24QQalistZa39Q2ca41Q2ca38v1yQ2ca38v2yQ2ca10239Q2ca3801Q2ca85Q2ca10246Q2ca33512Q2ca10241Q2ca10244Q2ca39705QQcurcatZtrueQQfclZ3QQfposZ77036QQfromZR7QQfrppZ50QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ3QQfsptZ1QQgcsZ13QQpfidZ2473QQsacatZ6001QQsadisZ50QQsatitleZQQsocmdZListingItemListQQsofindtypeZ22QQsofocusZpf cuz id really love to go home in a new car well ive never used e-bay and know nothin about it......NOTHIN then why wouldnt they set the minimum price closer to the 30K

  1. its the minimum price the ebay seller has set for the car , you didn't really think they would have sold the car for a dollar or whatever the price stops at did you?
  2. because they arent going to sell it for under the buy now price.
  3. They always start the bids low....I am sure that they have a reserve price on them, so if you think you are going to get a car for $1.00, yer crazy.
  4. Just a way to scam bidders into bidding I guess
  5. With E-bay you pay a starting bid price, so if the starting bid is $1.00 it costs 10 cents, if you start the thing at $25,000 it will cost you $200 or more. The buy it now price is essentially a reserve price (both cost money to add to the auction). So, what happens is that you fail to sell the car @ $30,000 and then the re-list is free. Just repeat the auction again and again. Essentially it's like buying from a store online not an auction site. The difference is that E-bay has so many more visitors than any online store, so this is why people list like this.
