Hey All,

        I will try to explain this.  I have watched E-bay for a long time, and 
here is what Ihave noticed.  WHen you sent a minimum bid the bidding cools off 
sometimes.  The bidding for the spit started at $0.  This gets people to bid to 
get something cheap.  Then once the bidding starts people will continue to bid 
(shoot I just bid $500 and someone beat me out for $550, I'm going to bid 
$600).  Also the spitfire was advertise as something special because it was a 
very early comm number.  The TR6, while beautiful, only shows on PIC, is a 72 
(not early or late), and doesn't state if it has any features (i.e. OD, 
Hardtop, AC, etc.)  $5,000 is a lot to bid without being able to see the car.

Later,
JHD IV
