I gave up listing items with reserves a few years ago, now I just list with the starting bid at a price that I'm willing to let the item go for. No one has to play games to guess the reserve. I may get less bids but I get bids from people who really want the item as they know that the first bid could end up in them winning the item. If it doesn't sell I just list again, sometimes at the same price sometimes less. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
