As a friendly reminder we have an amazing $1 starting bid auction section. Stop buy and bid on one of the listings or list something you no longer cherish.
On a side note a few years ago I had a member try to pay me $1 more than the underbidder saying he thought the auction section worked like eBay. He was a long time member but must not have ever used the auction section before.

This could easily be resolved by putting a reserve on it.
Otherwise, I am BIG TIME in favor of it. I have bought close to 700 things, including cards, from eBay. The sellers sometimes put an amount to open they can live with if only one bidder bids. Sometimes they don't, and the buyer gets a bargain. Sometimes the seller puts a reserve on the item.
And then I will say again for the umpteenth time to all the brain-dead or pompous, egocentric, horses-ass sellers who are "listening to offers". I've got an offer for you, and it's dangling in my shorts! Put an f-ing price on it, if you truly want to sell. Otherwise you are obnoxious in the extreme.
