There is nothing wrong with this. Auto auctions run like this all the time. It's well known that some sellers sometimes just want to see what the current market is for their car, and if it meets their reserve, then they will sell. This doesn't seem to bother anyone. My uncle bids on cars all the time, I've never heard him complain about reserves.
Alot of cards do sell for their "current value" today, some people are taking losses. I also think that some collectors are still licking their wounds from previous years and are reluctant to bid. I think this trend is temporary. I'll find as many good deals as I can, while I can, and so will everybody else.
When it comes time for people to sell all of these great deals they found during these tough times, they won't be putting reserves on their cards. They won't have to.
