If your in need of a hi-performance trackball this is the one! Infinitly adjustable

But it doesn't come with a spelling or grammar checker, apparently.

Well this thing has a reserve, it could be $200 for all we know. I don't like reserves... what's the point of even putting it up for bidding?

I feel a similar way. Why not just set a mimimum bid instead of a dumb old reserve?

EBAY SELLER NOOB!


A higher initial price costs more. Cheaper for the seller to set reserve and $0 start.

That, and it allows lower-than-reserve bids to come in so that the seller may reconsider selling for less than the reserve.  Also, people may be less tempted to put in an initially high bid but have no problem increasing their bid to that same level from a lower initial bid.  Thus, creating the sense that the bidders may get a bargain.

Sometimes I ask outright via an email what the reserve is.  That way I can at least know if I should even bother to waste the energy at all (sometimes the reserves are as high as the people setting them) or at least ensure that a win equals a purchase if the reserve is within budget.  I really don't see any advantage to keeping it secret once asked outright by a serious bidder though.  How can that info be used to keep the price low?
