@sxjy0109 and @Nathan, if you were the sellers, I would not bid your items
I only bid on auctions with reasonably low starting prices or acceptable BIN prices. Please remember:
buyers would like to pay the amount of money that they want, instead of the amount of money that sellers want. When a seller sets a high starting price or reserve, the worst case is no one places a bid on it or the reserve isn't met. In other words, he have the chance to get high price, but he doesn't give buyers a chance to win it with low price. Clearly, this is an unfair game.
I've observed this interesting phenomenon for a period of time: if a seller lists his GN with starting price of $0.99 without reserve, the end price often goes to $90-110. If he lists the item with starting price of $80, it ends with no bidder.
