Good news! The seller has lowered the reserve price on this item to less than your maximum bid of US $8,000.00.

You are now just $1 away from meeting the new reserve price.


Ford : Model A 1929 (Item #201151860838)Seller's NEW reserve price:US $7,105.00
(reserve not met)


Your maximum bid is now:US $7,104.00Place a bid of US $7,105.00 to meet the reserve.


View the item you're bidding on:
Your 8K bid still stood.

The winner just outbid you by $50 to win at $8050.

Check the run of bids and click show automatic bids.

The seller did not know you were willing to pay 8K.

Only ebay did.

It was all above board .
