You driving to NY homeboy? Kinda funny that they guy won't remove the shrink wrap? What - does he want somebody to buy it THEN open it like a present or something? On the flip side of that logic - it could keep the price down and somebody gets a nice boat at a good deal........

Might be a deal if the sellers friends dont bump the price up too high....I noticed the same guy keeps bidding it up even though no one else is bidding.

Randlemanboater... Those are automatic bids.. if you click on the "show bids" part of the ad it shows you who is bidding and how much. Then if you click on the top right corner of that box on the "show automatic bids" you'll see bids that were hidden because they were too low. As an example...if someone makes a bid.. lets say his top bid is $950.... but the bid itself is only 400. Then another person makes a bid for 500. That bid won't show because the first person's top bid is for 950, so he automatically outbid the 500 bid. On the first page it will look like he just increased his bid to 505 or something like that because the lower bid of 500 won't show in the bid column. It's kinda
how they do it on eBay because it doesn't show and it gives people the wrong idea, but it's legit and not someone bidding the price up.

My pleasure... I do a lot of buying and selling on eBay.. and I used to think the same thing.. (that ppl were bidding the price up)..took someone else to point it out to me.. so I'm happy to just pass that knowledge along.
