Yikes! I believe every auction style item I've sold on GSB has been with a 0.99 start and no reserve. I do sell fixed price as well, but those aren't auctions...
As far as the comment, feel free to ignore it. I was explaining how reasonable bidders could both not want a reserve and also not want a too high starting bid, but it's not an important point. Your enthusiasm for Paragon and zeal in rushing to it's defense when it wasn't even being attacked is noted.
