Can you bid on your own item to bump the price? The seller has bid enough to meet his/her reserve, but why set it so low that you have to bid to beet it??

740 wheels (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8002636035&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT)

No.. Bidding on your own items is called shill bidding and violates ebay's policies.

Nevermind, I was so exited I read it wrong. The seller was not bidding on his own item. A guy could get a bad rep for spreading rumours like that.

Still interesting, three 16" 740 wheel with good tires just sold for $30. Not a bad deal if you can find another....

Going to crawl in a hole I bought on e-bay, great deal :)

I wonder what the shipping charge was?
