iaRIVR Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 A starting price is a reserve. A starting price + an actual reserve is a 'double reserve' in the auction business. No need to look that up, it's a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know I didn't know lol I hope I never have to mess with it again personally. A few people just say stuff or ask 100 questions on ebay when they know they aren't gonna buy them. I don't mind on here because I reached out for help and I appreciate the knowledge from yall but one person sent me some messages saying they live in California and wanted pictures so I sent pictures thinking maybe they have a home in Florida after probably 10 times going back and forth they say they can't pick them up and if I would take $300 and mentioned before they sent ALL $300 LMAO if I would take them in after I package them and see how much shipping would be for them... crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the first bid was a penny would that still be a reserve since someone has to bid on it first? I guess I'm lost why my auction your so concerned about are you thinking of bidding? If so send me your ebay name and I will send you a private offer. If your just concerned with my ebay auction and trying to ruin someone's day or just bored please move on ty.... There will be stuff you read on the internet that you don't like read it and move on... Good day to you and best of luck Sir: I do not think dese guys are out to bust yer chops, it’s some of us are a bit pedantic. I’ll not be bidding because -I live in Phoenix and the shipping would hurt -I already have a pair. Of la Scala. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 @Ocalaman FWIW, in my opinion, eBay “auctions” are more like a silent auction than a true auction. I agree that a starting price has the effect of establishing a base reserve, and “NO RESERVE” accurately describes that anything greater than the opening bid will win the auction. Perhaps a lower opening bid at the minimum you would accept without a subsequent reserve would generate more interest and result in a bidding war to your advantage.
