Default Auction question

Hello everyone,

We're selling a boat on Ebay for the first time at
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=2452145 905
but not getting any bids. Does everything seem in order in my auction? Do
you have any suggestions as to how I can approve it? The reason we're
starting the price at $37k is because that is the least we'd like to take
for the boat. It is worth much more according to local marinas. At any
rate, they charge $40 to list the boat and then $40 when someone bids, so we
didn't want to set the auction start at $1 for instance and set our reserve
at $37k. Thank you in advance for any of your suggestions.

Most savvy bidders wait until the last minute to bid so there may be
hope yet. Also, it is not exactly boating season in many parts of the
country and some may still be recovering from Christmas expenses not
to mention upcoming tax liabilities (in other words, it may not be the
best time of the year to sell a boat unless you are offering a real
bargain). Your listing looks good though. Good luck.
