I almost always ask what the reserve price is because it influences my bidding 
strategy.  I don't like bidding against myself, which is what will happen if I 
put in a bid that's high enough to meet the reserve, but WAY higher than the 
amount set by the next lower bidder.  If I don't know what the reserve price 
is, I need to babysit my bid so that I'm bidding against someone.
