<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aubade21, post: 1659654, member: 44104&quot;]As far as why somebody would start the bidding below the face value, mostly it&#039;s to generate interest in an item and get it on peoples watch list. </p><p>People like to think they could score an amazing deal on ebay, so by starting the bid and .99, you will get a lot of pages views and, initially at least, bids.</p><p>Remember, a lot of people like to sort their auctions into &quot;most bids&quot; so if you start low, your item will show up near the top, and, perhaps, gain additional </p><p>interest. The reality of it is, there are buyers that won&#039;t even look at items that contain a starting bid near retail or contain a reserve.</p><p><br /></p><p>As long as you correctly list your currency on ebay, you provide accurate pictures, and it&#039;s not a fake/replica, there is little chance you&#039;re ever going to get less than market value (at least before the fees).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
