Make Your Net Auction Sell!
On this car, the reserve price isn’t met at $10,100...
If it is not met, the car will not sell at the end of the auction, even though it has
received 29 bids.
Are reserve auctions a good selling strategy for you?
A reserve seems like a really cool idea. You can sit a tiny minimum price and
yet be covered so that you don’t have to sell your Rolls Royce for $10. The
downside, however, is that there are many buyers who will not bid on reserve
items. They “don’t want to waste time playing games,” as one buyer put it.
I once bid on an item seven times in a couple of minutes, and each time
received the “reserve not yet met” response. I gave up in disgust and I haven’t
bid on an item with a reserve price since then.
This is an individual decision, without question. But as a seller, be aware that
many potential buyers will pass you by. Reserve auctions are definitely in the
minority.
6.4. Bidding Strategies
Really serious auction players and collectors develop winning strategies to
make sure they get the items they are craving. They manage to buy items that
they can then resell for a nice profit. Mastering effective bidding strategies
means more cash for your pocket. Here are a few to consider...
Strategy #1 -- A few cents can make the difference. Most buyers bid
in nice, round numbers like $5.50 or $10.75. But those who study the auctions
learn that a few cents can make a difference. Instead of bidding $12.50, bid
$12.53.
Sometimes these few cents will be a difference between winning and losing.
