So I guess that's where your reserve is set? Thinking rather than offer it for sale here shouldn't a link have been posted. With a current auction under way, couldn't you kinda end up in a corner if someone bids on this?

Actually, no. The reserve on ebay is higher as I am willing to work with members of this forum on price. If someone on the forum decides to purchase I can end the auction early.

Never have understood why people do a reserve auction.. since you know what your going to have to have to part with the item why not just list it? Unless it's like a fishing trip and you want to see how many nibbles you get..

Potomac German Auto Wreckers sell this kit for $125. on eBay, or less if you ask nicely.
Or you can contact them, Used Mercedes parts, Interior visor seats leather dash items in Mercedes Benz AMG Potomac store on eBay!
Not to put anyone off buying yours but I hate to see someone pay too much, sorry.

That is why I said I am willing to work with a member of this forum on price if they are interested. I am not out to try and rip anyone off. It seemed a reasonable price since many other sites had the same part listed at around $250 just for the throttle body without the MAF. I noticed that price at Potomac German Auto Wreckers with the link you provided is 189.99 plus $15.01 shipping. So, my price is still lower, at least if one were to just do a buy it now on ebay.

That's the fun of an auction! You never know how it will turn out. Sometimes you get a nibble and sometimes you don't. It is alot like fishing - cast you line out and see if you get a fish to bite...if a fish does bite hold on to the pole tight as once you lose that you have lost your investment. Sometimes you end up with a big fish and sometimes a small one

Okay.. johnny will only pay 120.. susy will pay 125.. now billy..he really wants it and will go 150.. david would pay 210.. but billy quit bidding now david is the high bidder.. reserve not met.. david has to look for one somewhere else.

Logic behind a reserve now?
