I don't bid on reserve auctions. If someone wants to sell with a base price, that's fine. I can see that the bidding starts at X--so they don't have to "give it away" below a certain price. The cards are on the table, so to speak. Reserve prices just mean people end up having to guess and I don't have time for games when I'm shopping for something. In general, reserve auctions mean that someone has too high a "reserve" price and doesn't want to show the floor price because if he/she did there would be no interest. So I don't bid. I just move on and look for a fair price.
