    Default can you tell me?

    Why sellers on ebay list desirable items at an unrealistic low price, then accept bids from "qualified" buyers only. Attempts to register seem to be always unsuccessful.
    Whats going on ? Is this an attempt to harvest information on email addresses, bank account details or what?
    Case in point is a near new Kubota loader backhoe listed (7620909100) as buy it now for $4000, much under market value. Snap at the price if you can only register your bid. A similar unit has disappeared from the screen.
    What do you think? Regards, Bill

    No bids with one day left to go, obviously no one is approved.
    Something is going on but I don't know what.
    Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

    I know people put it at like a doller to getinterest, then people will sit and wait for the Auction to get about 30 seconds out and start bidding wildly.

    I have watched things that have gone from 99c too 164 dollers in under 60 seconds! Bloody impressive!
