I tend to agree. Certainly, the reserve price is totally irrelevant to me as a
buyer since I always, without exception, snipe stuff. I look at an item,
decide the maximum amount I can pay and still feel like I got a good deal, and
then I set and forget that amount in eSnip*. I don't find out whether I "won"
or not until I get an email from eSnip* and/or eBoo.
Should it matter to the seller? I don't know, but maybe I'll find out next
week. Yesterday I registered myself and my good lady wife for an eBoo
University seller's seminar March 19 at the Cobb Galleria Centre. I expect
I'll know all there is to know about selling stuff on line by dinnertime that
day. Just ask me. :-)
