I see that you are a recent member of Audiogon, and your question from yesterday suggests youre not familiar with the way auctions go on this site. I myself am not that familiar with the auction process on Audiogon because I do almost all my buying from the classified ads. However, from the little Ive observed of auctions, almost all the bids come at the very end of the auction. With the automated proxy bidding system, theres no reason to bid any earlier. On a rare occasion, someone might attempt a shut out bid, but that only works if the bid is fairly high and therefore runs the risk of overpaying.
Your question would be more relevant if you asked it after your auction failed. In that case, it might be because you are a zero feedback seller. Its often been said in these forums that everyone starts with zero feedback. However, because buyers are at greater risk (they pay before receiving the goods), its easier for a newcomer to start out as a buyer and build up feedback before selling. Im not saying its impossible to sell with zero feedback, just harder.
