Rich,

Yeppers, my bad!

Tipsy,

For eBay, it depends, and they seem like they are ever-shifting the costs of one thing or another and then they have those seller promotions, which usually involves "Free Upgrade to Large Photos!" or "0.10 insertion fee day!" ;P

I used to think having a reserve was a set price, like the "insertion fee" which is set regardless of whether one is selling a Tonka truck or Trump Tower, so it may be cheaper.

In any case, posting openly what the reserve is in the auction description, as Rich did, is totally cool as far as I am concerned, because then people know what their minimum bid needs to be if they want an actual chance to acquire the piece.

..also, the higher the price you list an auction to start at, the more ebay charges for the listing fee.....which is why it cost you less to list an auction starting at .99 cents versus $400.....it may be cheaper to list a reserve.....anyone know??
