I know you are new, so let it go this way, if it doesn't sell you can relist for free and make changes for the next time.

I have to go with MJ on this.....If it is something you know will sell and get good money (I have sold Red Sox tickets on Ebay) then I start at a penny and let er rip. If I am not sure then I start at the lowest I would take and forget the reserve. As a buyer, I can't stand a reserve....sometimes people will actually say what the reserve is. In this case I suppose you get the draw of the low opening bid and people know whether or not to bother bidding.

Good luck......I wish I was in the market. The video is great!

How tough would it be for you to get compression readings? People, like your question guy, can get hung up on these things. He can hear and see it runs great but he MUST have the readings. If it's not much trouble you could add that to the listing.

I had to get up @ 0250 this morning so I could be at work by 0330. :(

Having done that I had some time after work today to disconnect the Merc from the V. I got everything unhooked except for the four bolts holding the motor to the transom.

Its a wonder that it ran as good as it did with the way the gas line was rotted. I went to disconnect it from the fuel/water sep. and it crumbled in my hand. :P

Getting ready for when the bid soars on the auction and I have to get that baby to its new owner.

I bet the next question I field on the auction will be from someone who wants to test run it.
