Just my opinion, but I think the reserve issue depends alot on who the seller is. If your a seller with a lot of financial resources to fall back on, then getting hit once in a while on a no reserve auction probably won't hurt as much. But if your selling something and you can't take the hit, then your screwed. Case in point, is the auctions I've been running lately for a couple of 19th century cabinets. I'm not wealthy and I'm not a professional card dealer so if I take off the reserves and they sell for less then the market price or even for less then what I paid, then I'm being a fool. I understand that everyone goes on Ebay to look for deals, hell I'm one of them, but sometimes you have to be firm on the price to protect your investment.
