Thoughts on reserve prices? My general feeling is that if you're looking for a bottom price, start your bid at that price, but I'm sure there's a perspective I'm missing. What do you all think?

My feeling is start them at the lowest price you're prepared to sell for. Some argue a reserve price and starting lower attracts more interest, but I think it often puts people off (it puts me off at least!).
I am somewhat amused at a guy who wears a size 6-7/8 all worried about having to pay too much for a hat!!
Good luck on your hunt, Frank!
Agreed. I won't play a guessing game with a seller. As soon as I see that an item has a reserve, I hit the back button.
but i've offered $30 on a hat that was $150 and the listing was in its final hours and it was accepted, so there are bargain to be had.
So, for those who imagine it chases away bidders, I have not experienced that.
+1This is the only truth...

You said it, Alan.
