Reply to "Bidding on an item with no bids (HELP!)"

I am with MG on this one, I have never seen an opening bid attract other bidders attention and there is definately no proof that you placing a low ball opening bid will make one bit of difference to the final bidding price.

I have placed opening bids and ended on that bid and I think an auction with no bids is more likely to attract another bidder.

I also havent seen many auctions ended that have bids on them, but have seen quite a few cancelled with no bids.

If you do have a opening bid on the auction and the seller pulls the auction, you can still contact them and see if they will accept a price or open to negotiations.

I guess MG and I are a little less paranoid than some.
