Were you perhaps questioning why the starting bid was $99 with a reserve of $100? This does seem like a strange thing to do, since setting a low starting bid usually encourages more people to get involved with the lower bids, while the reserve protects the seller from having to sell it at a low price. On the other hand, if the seller didn't want to risk having to pay the reserve fee if the reserve wasn't met, he should have just foregone the reserve and set the starting bid at $100. In this case he has essentially used the reserve to protect himself from having to sell it for only $99. --- carltonlowry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just can't understand why someone opens an auction with a minimum > bid amount, but puts a "Reserve not met" beside it. > Example American Flyer 322 Hudson Item # 3133360853 > This is a rhetorical observation on my part, but anyone is welcome to > > try and explain it. > > > S-Trains list sponsor: http://www.americanflyertrains.com > All the Flyer you desire...books and accessories too! > > To UNSUBSCRIBE from this list send a note to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Your use of Yahoo!
