An Amazing Price

Stradius011 · June 14th, 2007

At aquabid.com they're selling a 120 gallon aquarium with equipment and 2 oscars and the starting bid is only $1.00!!! The Buy-It-Now price is $600. The only drawback is that it's at NJ.http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/aucti...101&1182095263

That's just a typical seller trick. Note that it says right next to that $1.00 price Reserve Price Net Yet Met. That means that the tank won't sell for $1.00 even if you place your bid at that price. It most likely has a reserve of $600 or pretty near that and if you don't bid at least their reserve, you won't win the bid.

yea.. sellers do that to make sure they don't have to sell something cheap but starting at $1 saves them some in ebay fees. it would be nice if the reserve price showed, but like luniyn said, it's probably close to the buy-it-now price and i'd not buy from a new seller with no feedback and no pictures of the auction item(s) with something like that. too many people using ebay to scam people.
