FYI, i just got a message from gunbroker about reserve auctions and the fees for auctions with reserves changing april 30.

They said that several of my listings had reserve prices. When NONE of mine have actual reserves. I realized they are even considering higher start prices (though not unrealistic) as reserves. They are telling to rather list them as fixed price vs an auction.

I personally lost my items at the minimum that i want to sell them at, and usually they are also reasonable prices for the items. Not inflated prices. There is still room for bidders to get involved and drive the price up.

I would really like to know, from gunbroker, at what point is a start price not a considered a reserve price??? I find it hard to beleive that everyone is going to be willing to just list their stuff at a dollar and risk loosing their butt.
