I have a real hard time accepting offers on the few things Ive put up for auction. Its just a mental thing for me, almost a principle. But clearly, the guy should have taken the offer. I have respect for the guy if he followed through on the transaction without too much grumbling.

![]() With a reserve on the offer price, you presumably will get at least what was offered. So, "yes" it "could" definitely be a smart "check-mate" move. However my dear Watson, as a buyer, when I see a reserve auction, I usually just keep right on going and I happen to know I'm not the only one. Thus, my conclusion: without the benefit of a crystal ball or Ms Cleo coming out of retirement, you just never know what the best path will be. Lovely Day... |

Coming out of retirement or jail? I never knew where Mrs. Cleo ended up (although it's pretty funny a vintage card thread refers to Cleo haha).
I do skip a few reserve auctions, but I still think that setting a reserve on a card you are worried may sell for much less than anticipated, is a good, safe strategy. Bad for a bargain type buyer, but good for a seller.

If there's no bids yet why not just edit the listing to start at the minimum of the offer?

But I totally agree with NOT ending auctions early, regardless of whether or not there are bids - some, like me, have snipes waiting (don't want to get into why I do it that way, as that's fodder for a separate black hole thread). If I want something really badly, I contact the seller and ask them to please contact me if they are considering (at someone else's request) ending the auction early.
