Here's something else that baffles me about that auction...

He states right in the auction body that the reserve is $18k. Yet there are
seven bids for less than that amount. If you're not going to bid at least the
reserve amount, why bid at all? You're not going to win it.

You won't win the auction, but you might get the car. I've
known of sellers who (after the auction) sent an e-mail to the
highest bidder and offered to sell the item at that bid price.

Yes, I have done that myself as a seller, though I don't usually set a
reserve on anything that I sell on Ebay.

Speaking of Ebay, I have almost finished parting out a white 1991 miata
and am about to finally tear into my wrecked '96M edition, so I will
have a lot of M1 miata parts, both stock and aftermarket for auction. I
won't spam the group with daily listings or anything like that, but once
I have a number of items up I will post a link to my auctions.

My '91 BRG which I bought at Kelly Blue Book Wholesale prices more than 5
years ago, just turned 183,000 on the clock. Its got a few dings and some
non-original parts but still runs great and gives me a smile on my face
every time I drive it (which it every day to work and any where else I need
to go). That's how to enjoy a Miata!

Carfax might help in detecting odometer roll back.

He might smarten up and change his mind on the reserve.
