I find that funny that people say no reserve yet start the bidding at say $90, dont you think that is the same as a reserve price?

A reserve is an undisclosed minimum bid. The OP is being up front with the minimum bid.

By your definition, every auction that didn't start at 1 cent would have a reserve.

Is there something wrong with publishing a starting bid with no reserve? I'll be placing a few kits and items on ROL, in the next few weeks, and I plan on using a starting bid on some items and not on others. Maybe it's just the terminology that is confusing.

I agree with the concept that an opening bid of XX is similar in nature to a reserve BUT better in that it does not waste your time... You know up front what the minimum is to potentially win the item. Many of my auctions sell on 1 or 2 bids.. No wasted time, no nickel and dime increases. This gives you more time to fly and less time remembering which auctions you were high bidder on but got screwed out of because you did not make the minimum which was a hidden number.

The fin can sold and shipped within 2 hours of the payment being rec'd. No wasted time, prompt service and a fair price..

I agree, the starting price is better than a hidden reserve. I've lost count of the number of e-bay auctions I've given up on, only to later find out that the reserve price was only a couple of pounds (or dollars) more than my last bid.

Oh, and I bought the fin can :)
