I hate reserves, too. I don't have any reserves on any of my auctions
(mostly
just Supremacy and Traveller stuff this time out, though I do have some
Ork
epic scale vehicles and 3 Eldar titans; nothing much GZG based right
now).

His stuff looks really good, but I think he'd probably have been better
off
selling it in parts. On the other hand, its so much easier to sell it
all at
once. 

The problem is, a lot of people see "reserve" and just don't bid. You're
better off not putting in a reserve, just putting your reserve bid
amount as
your minimum, and off you go. The current bid is, like, $204.52. If the
reserve was $210, that bidder could possibly go that high, but chances
are
he's scared off now. *shrug* Just a matter of taste, I guess, but my
auctions
are doing quite fine with no reserves.
