How do reserves work in the Legendary auction?

[Matt]

Reasonable point. My only counter is that with rare items, I'd have to think most, if not all, bidders would bid hoping their bid is enough to top the reserve because they want to own the item. No doubt, on eBay people usually shy away from bidding in a reserve auction, but that's usually in scenarios where they know they'll have an option of finding another one.

Think of it this way - if a card you needed for your collection that hasn't come up in two years was in the auction, but had a reserve, would you really not bid?

Isn't it really a "fixed price or better" sale masquerading as an auction?

This is a great advancement for Mastro. Unknown reserves are much better than bidding people up to the reserve price they wanted. Assuming they are telling the truth this time.

Have any of you been notified yet about the reserve price of any lots you bid on?

[Bicem]

nope

They're waiting for the absentee ballots.

I've still not been notified of the reserve price. I even sent an email and got no response. I guess my card is not available for the reserve price, which seems odd.

Have any of you been contacted?
