Re: Selling My Camera

[Stan McQueen <stan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I don't really have a problem telling the reserve. I was just 
answering in the spirit of the other humorous posts. I set the reserve at $75.

My own bidding style is to ignore the reserve prices, if any, and simply 
place a bid at what I'm willing to pay for an item. If I exceed the 
reserve, then I'm in the auction. If I don't, then it's more than I would 
pay anyway. Do other people use knowledge of the reserve price (assuming 
the seller will disclose it) as part of their bidding strategy? If so, I 
would be interested in finding out how, because maybe I could improve my 
own strategy. Of course, this is off-topic, so please reply off-list.
