no reserve you say...or perhaps a bit of sleight of mind ....?

i tried to bid $0.99 but couldn't...seems the least i can bid and possibly buy the seats for is reserved at the minimum of $350.00

These seats must be pretty old to still say "Made in W. Germany".

Bob Napier

PS: Now days they should say: " Partially Made in Germany - Mostly Made in China".

[Poorhouse]

Minimum bid is $350.

No hidden reserve price.

Certainly no slight of hand.

Thanks for looking.

semantics....

seriously, i'm not trying to bust your chops but have always been confused when people advertise "no reserve" yet have the starting bid at the minimum they'll sell an item for...the only difference in your auction and one with a reserve is that your reserve is visible and not hidden

at any rate, i'm certain the seats are worth it but the minimum that you'll sell the seats for is $350.00....

reserve price

n.

The price fixed and announced as the minimum at which property will be sold at an auction.

Typically reserve prices are hidden and not announced.

Some forums frown on listing items for sale without a fixed price.

That is why I specify "no reserve" so there is no question that nothing hidden is going on with the price.

cool retro seats... they are getting harder to find too.

I am with Esty... No reserve means bidding starts at zero...

A reserve in place is just that....a reserve.

I am sure you will exceed 350 easily. Wish they were tan and without a reserve so I could bid something matching my bank account...which has no balance...

[Poorhouse]

Duly noted the correct definition of reserve auction.

While we are at it... add keywords: seats vintage race rare mint in the title in addition to the recaro LS

people search using those terms...might be others too...will help more people find your seats

also put them on craigslist.... a lot of people use craigfind.com to search the entire country... those should be at least 500 minimum.

spell storeage "storage"

We are a tight little community and all here to help each other.

Good info, thanks.

Although if you think about it...all the cars sold at Barret Jackson with no reserve do NOT start at $0...you never hear "who'll give me zero?...zero?...zero? They always start off at a reasonable lowest starting bid number...and yet are still a no reserve car. Just my opinion of course. Anyway, nice seats...very rare and even more with that fabric. GLWS!!!

[Poorhouse]

Excellent point.

Thanks.
