Joe D.I have mixed feelings about people knowing the reserve.
In the end though, all I am hoping as a seller is that the reserve gets hit -
so if it works toward that goal / I shouldn't care who knows what.
As a buyer... I like to know the reserve - and sometimes ask the seller.
My fear as a buyer (and I thought this is where you were going with your message when I first started reading)... would be if there was an item I wanted, and I was the high bidder... but the reserve never gets tripped. Imagine sitting at the top bid / and not getting the item you wanted because not enough people bid against you (even if you were willing to bid higher).
