I understand why sellers like reserves, but as a buyer (1) I'd prefer that they were banned, limited, or cost the seller a lot of money to do. If the listing fee is 50 cents, charge 20% of the reserve whether the item sells or not. Plus 5 bucks to (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

I understand how the same item can reach 2x the reserve if the bidding starts low and then go unsold if the minimum is the high amount the seller wants, which kinda sucks, but I still don't like reserves, either as a buyer (...)
