I have no problem when the auction is not an auction. If the price started is too high I keep looking. My assumption is if a gun is started at $25 and has a reserve of $2500 all those bids from $30 to $2300 are a waste of time and if I don't want to pay any where close to the reserve I move on. The only grief I have is when I want something and can't be at the computer to bid and it goes for less than I would have paid. This happens because I think I might get a better deal and hold off bidding and things don't work out. The rest, as I see it, is comedy. The greatest example is a listing of a common firearm with a starting price way above the "buy now" price of 10 guns of the same model and condition? I have met people that I would expect to do this with anything they own that they were selling.
