This seller has set the opening bid to 200, and ALSO set the buy it now to

It would be a good way to just put something up for sale on eBay.

eBay reaches a wider audience than, say, a garage sale or classified ad.

True, true.

But riddle me this, Batman, why not set the min bid to 200, the buy it now
to 225 and the auction time frame to 1 day. If someone bids, you get at

(different numbers of course).
