Default ebay boats not selling

Usually the winter time is when to find the bargains, and I always
like looking at ebay for boats, and I see some delicious craft that
should move and they're not even geting a bid. OR they have reserves
and starting bids so jacked up no one is interested.

Looks like some people are wanting to get out of them for what they
either have left on the loan, or they feel because it is apraised at
$15,000, it ought to sell for $15,000.


What ever happened to the $10.00 opening bids with a fair reserve?


Regardless, it looks like people are stuck with what they have.



It's possible that some sellers would rather keep their boat or whatever
than to sell it to some opportunistic shark.

I haven't shopped ebay in a long time. Last time I looked, it seemed
full of sellers who used their other accounts or the accounts of their
friends to sell merchandise.
