To be fair, on an ebay deal it does not seem to be an auction. It seems everyone is testing the waters, not holding an open auction.

I was shopping for backhoes a while back, & watched ebay. I set my preferences to sort by highest price first, and anything under $100 I didn't bother to page back any farther & look at. I think anyone listing valuable hardware for a few pennies on Ebay is not real bright either.

I do agree in a real auction where items are there to sell, starting about 1/2 the real hoped for price helps sales quite a bit. In the Ebay environment, I don't think that is the case, and it would probably be in one's best interest to start with some resemblence of a a bit of the real value of your item.

I don't bother looking at the el-cheapo lowball starting bids - those people just seem to have games to play, not actively selling.

Just my opinion.
