Hi all,

While on the subject of starting prices and reserve prices, I will put my 2 cents in, well, actualy 1 cent. About five years ago, I started all my auctions at one penny as an experiment and had pretty good results. Ever since then I have started every auction for 1 penny. I actually get a slightly higher dollar amount for my stuff than before when I used to start them all at $9.99.

I buy stuff all the time on eBay, I do not buy from anyone who has a reserve price, never. So those sellers who use a reserve price are losing bids from the lots of bidders who don't like reserve prices. I say, if you have something that you need to get a particular amount for, then start it at that price.

Regards,
Ricky
