Should have bids - perhaps is the color? What is that color called?

Manila beige?

Could be a nice car but why in the devil didn't he spend an hour (or $25 at the local full-service car wash) at least getting it cleaned?

Not necessary to detail, but good grief - that car would be sold much faster if it was cleaned up.

The vehicle is in Massachusetts, he in in Michigan. The car doesn't look that dirty to me.

Manila Beige .... ewwww .... I think that is it ... I would consider the car immediately if it was almost any other color ... sorry, I know it is a matter of taste!

Fickle crowd

If you relist again use a lower starting bid, use the reserve feature to protect financial interest. The auction is written well, pictures are fine, seller rating is good and plenty of hits. Auction needs bid action to get the competitive spirit going. .02 jk

Exactly.

I'd suggest not even having a starting bid, let it start at $0.00, and let the bidding go up.

Simply set a reserve to protect yourself.

If it doesn't hit your reserve, run it again.

I've learned from ebay that every auction is different, and gets a different group of bidders.

I think thats why my 500SEL didnt sell on ebay last week. My friend put an way too high buy it now of almost $4k when the reserve was only $2500. I think that scared people off.
