I think you need to look closer at the numbers and you will see that there were 3 main bidders each outbidding each other. People should learn how to bid. If you bid every time someone outbids you, all you are doing is driving the price up and penalising yourself. I only ever bid once and at the very last minute. Sometimes I win and sometimes I don't, but I bid to my maximum, and that's as far as I go.
Mark, judging by the 'sold price', values are not going up, are they ? It's amazing how little that car fetched in the end. Incidentally, the same seller is also selling a Holden Calais in perceived better than average condition. His price on that car - a miserly $800.00 - shaking my head ! Regards Styria
