I do understand Scorch's reason for a reserve, and it's a good one. My only caveat would be that you should absolutely state your reserve price within the first sentence or two of your description -- most savvy ebayers won't bother to bid otherwise, which may be part of why you keep getting idiots e-mailing you stupid questions, lol.

As for the sniping issue -- I disagree with those of you who think it's a bad idea. It really doesn't matter WHEN people bid, only THAT they bid, and how much. I almost always snipe, and I usually win when I do. When I lose, that means that someone else was willing to pay more than I was, whether they bid on the first day or during the last minute.

Finally -- Scorch, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom's illness. You are doing a wonderful thing, helping her.
