But seriously, I agree that reserves don't make me guess about anything. To me, they are simply a lie. They lure me there with the promise of a deal that doesn't actually exist. I'd rather bid on a more open and honest auction.
It's not a matter of getting something for nothing, but auctions are about trying to get a good deal if it's available, and trying to deal with sellers who will be honest in dealing with you.
