Why does this TJ have so many bids?

[Chris]

I realize it's a build in progress, but I don't see anything going on here to generate such interest.

Shitty lift, shitty "kevlar" paint job, etc.

Pretty sure it's because of all that tire clearance...

That was engineered in to make greasing the upper ball joints easier.

a couple of things have piqued my interest:

"full locker system"
"full brake system"

to bid or not to bid, that is the question

maybe because in the first 3 hours of bidding the same jackass bid 12 times, against himself, maybe the seller trying to generate interest?

There are two kinds of idiots on eBay, idiot sellers (not this one) and idiot buyers. They feed off of each other though. But mainly because the price is low and people are trying to find the reserve. Love dem wheels! At least its painted the correct color.

I guess the "Show automatic bids" and "Hide automatic bids" is a new feature for you eh?

Low price. People want a deal. I'm sure Davis is gonna want 35+ for it, when complete.

I didn't even realize you could see bid history until now. No idea why that guy is bidding against himself

Can't fix stupid?

You can’t actually bid against yourself - they likely put in a max bid and when someone else came to bid up until that amount they kept the highest bid status (so the other bidder’s name never will show).

On eBay just because you say you’ll spend 10,000 doesn’t mean that’s the price you’ll pay if the bid only ever gets to 5,000.

See post #7 if you want to see the other bids.

Interesting in this context.
