John Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 eBay Motors terms specifically state that auto auctions are non-binding apparently some people have trouble understanding. maybe a bigger font will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Last I knew the bids for auto were considered binding contracts of course last time I read the terms in the auto side was probably 10 years ago when my old man won a car that was supposed to have a title. Anyway I wouldn't buy.a $55,000 car on eBay hell I probably wouldn't buy any car on eBay unless it was local and I could check it out prior to bidding or a restoration project. Although knowing now that it is a non binding contract I can bid the hell out of cars and not buy them. My apologizes to those I said were wrong my info was old and wrong. I fail!

serpentracer Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) You have been to a couple auctions and now you are an expert. NOT!I am a licensed dealer and you don't know what your talking about. You are comparing two completely different types of sales at real auctions. If the ebay seller did not have a reserve it is just like selling a car at auction with NO reserve. If I run a car through any reputable auction as NO RESERVE and it brings a bid of any amount, it is SOLD to the highest bidder. Good luck trying to get out of a deal that was run as NO RESERVE. It won't happen. An "if" sale only applies if the seller has set a reserve price on the vehicle. Since the ebay sale was NO RESERVE you cannot compare it to an "IF" sale at a real auction. You should really get your facts straight before you start name calling and telling people to suck cock.what's your dealer's license #?the fact of the matter is those cars will start at what the seller wants for the car to begin with. I've never heard of a car at an auction worth lets say $6k selling for $1800 and the seller sells it. matter of fact, I've never seen that happen in 2 years 4 times a week. you must have all the "special" auction houses no one knows about.hell I watch the auctioneers run up the prices even if no one is bidding.

Next time you go there ask them is a no reserve auction is binding even if the seller is unhappy with the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
