Thanks for the responses!
can i give an example and maybe you can help me out?

i came across this guitar that was clearly worth thousands.
however, i look at the starting price and it's only $100.
obvisouly, the seller would want MUCH more than $100 for the guitar.

now, lets say the time runs out and the highest bid ends up being $200.
does this mean the seller HAS to give up his guitar for a measly $200??

that sounds horrible!! i just can't believe that!!
Is Ebay all about risk?

one more question:

what is the point of a Reserve when you can just set an appropriote starting price??
Reserves sound pointless to me!
