I'd rather lose somebody from the getgo than lose my a** w/o a reserve on a pricey point. Of course I have no idea what your personal perspective of a "good point" is. I just know that if I was going to put anything that I thought was worth $100 or more I'd put a reserve on it OR start the bidding at what I considered to be the minimum amount I would accept. I've successfully sold hundreds of items since 1999 on eBay with the approach. Works for me.

Moots is right It seems to work out a little better for us if we just put a start bid instead of a reserve///jmo
