<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1547442, member: 13650"]I don't always use a reserve. I start at the lowest price I'm willing to accept too. I have never been scared off by a reserve. Why would anyone care what the reserve is? All you're trying to do is beat the high bidder. If you beat the high bidder but it doesn't meet the reserve at the end, then it simply doesn't sell. Who cares? What difference does it make? The sale just doesn't happen. </p><p><br /></p><p> On the contrary, I think starting lower and setting a reserve attracts more people because when people see something well below what it's worth, there is more interest. I don't understand the concept of why a reserve price would scare anyone away. If you bid and you don't meet it, it simply doesn't sell and the seller doesn't get screwed. It's to protect the seller. Ebay charges for it because they just want sales no matter how cheap anything ends at.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
