For example, a signed Mantle ball w/ a starting price of .99 cents will close btw. $450.00 to $550.00 but a Mantle ball w/ a starting price of $300.00 may close at $350.00 to $450.00.
If you want to make the big bucks ya gotta roll the dice and place your item at .99 cents. Lastly, under a buck no listing fees!

All of this is fine and good but what I think makes these auctions so competitive and fun is that ebay's increments are just about perfect. Nothing will kill the excitement of an auction faster then a 10% increase that most of the houses use. Keep it tight and so many more people will go along for the ride.
