<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Yacorie, post: 1398499, member: 25257&quot;]Can someone explain to me why, as a seller, you wouldn&#039;t want to disclose your reserve amount?&nbsp; I&#039;ve often wondered what the line of thinking is with not telling someone if they ask.&nbsp; The only rationale I can imagine is that the seller is hoping that people will bid a specific amount, or higher at the last second and they&#039;ll make out.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a coin with a reserve of $1000 and the bids are in the 600 range, why not tell someone if they ask?&nbsp; Are you hoping the item will be sniped by someone for 1400 at the end and you wouldn&#039;t want them just bidding 1001?&nbsp; If its being bid up by normal bidding, eventually they&#039;ll pass it and it&#039;ll go away anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just never really understood why people would keep it a secret.&nbsp; Although - I never really never understood why you wouldn&#039;t just put your reserve as the starting bid which is why I tend to shy away from an item with a reserve.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my 2 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
