I completely agree. Set a reserve (that reflects the minimum sale price) and if nobody bids on it then they'll figure out the item wasn't worth the minimum bid. Perhaps the consignors dictate how much they want for the item. If that's the case, just don't take on those consignments.
What's the difference between not selling an item where people bid on it and not selling an item where nobodey bids on it? - The difference is that you're probably going to wonder why the item is available in their next auction if you were the under bidder on that same item.
