I, for one, usually don't bid on Reserve Auctions.  That is an oxymoron 
to me.  In an auction, the seller puts an item up for bid and a 
competition between bidders sets the price.  It seems to me that you 
are bidding against the seller in a Reserve Auction and really have no 
idea if you will get the item or just waste your time.
