Double_Die,

I do exactly that for Seated pieces, Barbers, and WL halves ... but there are too many Morgans ... it makes me dizzy. I go there and sit about once a week, but only last about an hour. Guess I'm gettin' too old!

That software image you included, is that from having an ebay store? Just curious. I had always just thought it was another route for them to get the sellers money and not a cost effective way to sell. I've never really researched it though.

At any rate, thanks for the info. It's definitely useful.

From a buyer's perspective, when I first started on ebay, I was high bidder on several items that didn't meet reserve. Also I marked a few things so I could go back and see what the winning bid was. Quite often reserves were never met. This turned me against listings with a reserve. Now on items with a reserve I don't even bother to look, much less bid. However, if I'm searching for something specific and it has a reasonable buy it now price I will buy it.

Well I just unloaded a lot of bu rolls of State Quarters at less than face value, true my opening bid was $9.99 which is only .01 off, but with listing added to it x 20 rolls (2000-2005) it certainly didn't pay. plus a P & D Virgina Mint wrapped set in collector boxes for $25 for both rolls, can't find bank wrapped rolls on ebay for that. ASE proofs for less than cost, however items with reservere paid well and only one didn't sell.

I too agree that the key words are the key to any auction. If you miss it there you might as well not list it.

I don't know why so many people make such a big deal about "Reserve Not Met". If it's a coin I'm interested in I'll put it on my watch list. I usually don't bid until the very last seconds anyway. By that time I can simply bid the most I'd be happy with, and if I don't win who cares? I move on to the next coin.

That's why I don't know why it's such a psychological killer. Bid a price you're happy with, and if the reserve isn't met move on.
