When you lower the reserve, shouldn't it say that in the auction listing? Seems like I've seen that before, but after I lowered the price it didn't do that (I was logged out when I checked, BTW). Can anyone enlighten me?

I don't think it says "lowered reserve!" any more. I used to drop my reserve $5 during to auction to try to drive up interest but I haven't seem it lately.

I don't even bother bidding on cars with a reserve

I don't bother bidding on cars without a reserve.

IMO reserve should be your opening bid.

Why?

I don't believe I have ever bid on anything on Ebay with a reserve. Its either late enough in the auction where its past reserve OR its an item with no reserve. Of course I dont really ever bid on Ebay, just snipe auctions at the last second.

IMO high reserve price is dumb, if I see something that has has 10 bids with the reserve not met, I feel slightly insulted that someone wasted my time to read the add, then click the back button.

You'll need to log in to post.
