This very nice Lark was listed last week with a starting bid of $2950. Didn't get a bid- so what's the new strategy?
Re-list with a new opening bid... lower, of course- right? NOPE. $8500! [:0]
Yes, it's a new seller; but they're not excused from common sense. I still don't know why some folks just can't get the concept that auctions work by starting with a LOW opening bid- and that it doesn't matter where it starts, but where it ENDS.
I bring this up because it's a sweet little car, and it's a shame the seller is taking this silly approach- likely it means he'll end up frustrated, and the car will be left somewhere to deteriorate. Hopefully it will be a lesson to those that wrongly use a big opening bid[V] Basic common sense!
Here's the first listing:
Robert (Bob) Andrews Owner- Studebakeracres- on the IoMT (Island of Misfit Toys!)
Parish, central NY 13131
"Some people live for the rules, I live for exceptions"- 311
"Do they all not, by mere virtue of having survived as relics of a bygone era, amass a level of respect perhaps not accorded to them when they were new?"
