Default Sorry for the rant....but I hate reserve price auctions.

Posted By: John S

I have read all the arguments for and against, but why do sellers put reserves on eBay auctions? Why not start the item at a price that even if a single bid is placed will bring a sufficient return? Does it cost less for the seller to set a reserve instead of a high opening bid? I placed a few bids today on reserve auctions. I won two, but even with my maximum bids being 200% of book they did not meet the reserve. If I had known the prices I may have placed a ridiculous bid to get the cards (both have been on the want list for some time).
