[Milsurplus] eBay estate lot.. now more joy from Epay

Tue Jun 12 20:38:37 EDT 2012

I guess, since no one has mentioned it, that it's taken for granted that the whole idea of having a starting price lower than the reserve price is to suck more bidders into the whole auction routine.  That's how it works, and that's how it's supposed to work.  The other option is to make the starting price equal to the reserve price.  With this option the seller will get fewer bidders or maybe even no bidders.

  to whoever was whining about  reserves...

  do not be and AH  if  you do not like the item or the  reserve  just go 
  away,

  I can understand certain sellers listing good  items    with  reserves.It 
  is important  to cover  something sometimes of  value  when the  people you 
  want to  see it are the REAL  buyers... but  on an off week if the  real 
  buyers are on  vacation  you do not want someone to saunter in and  buy it  for  
  99 cents!

  remember... it is HIS item and HE can determine  how and under what  
  structure it can be  sold
  and if there is a reserve why are  you winning it if  you do not  like it 
  and then being an AH and leaving   one star feedbacks? Get a  grip man!
