Its just a way of catching the person's eye when they are first browsing. No real reason. It seems to work cuz 95% of my auctions end with GIN and I seem to get what I'm asking for with my auctions. Any particular reason why you are asking?
To let everyone know that they can GET IT NOW if they don't want to wait till the end of the auction---Its just a way of catching someone's eye when they are first browsing... Works pretty good seeing 95% of my auctions end with GIN and I get what I'm asking for my auctions.
NO, I did offer the GIN...After a person bids over 1/2 of the GIN amount, the GIN is immediately disabled. If you look at the auction page where the original GIN was, you will see the GIN in now disabled...its one of the rules (according to Listia Policies) that when a bidder bids over 1/2 the amount of the GIN, the GIN is DISABLED and cannot be used anymore. Read over the Lista Policies concerning using GIN. Its all right there...
