You have to love those sellers.
I guess I always thought that I if I wanted to sell something, I'd price
it to sell... In the few items I've sold on eBay, in every case I got
more than I wanted out of them. A low starting bid and a reasonable
reserve seem to get more $$ than having either too high.
There is a 35-70mm f/3.6 on eBay now that's been on at least 5 times. I
emailed the guy one of the previous times and the reserve is ( was )
$275. I guess that's why it's yet to sell. It's "Rare" and the "Glass
is Clear"...
