Reply to "Why keep the reserve a secret??"

mrsmMember

I personally don't like reserves. I don't use them and as a rule don't bid where there is one. I just think either use it or don't. To put one on and say this is the amount, to me is going nowhere. Why not start it at that amount in the first place? The bids don't count until they get there anyway. And as far as the statement I made about it not being a store, what I meant was in an auction it just is not that way. It is chance and control, I guess. I mean you can go to an auction and stand all day long to bid on an item, only to see it go for twice what you thought. That is an auction. And knowing what you think it is worth and sticking to your guns is control.
