To the Sellers of Stuff on GunBroker; an Open Letter

If you list your item with a hidden reserve price, I'm not going to look at it.

I'm not going to take the time to bid on something, only to get the message that my bid wasn't successful because it didn't meet the hidden reserve price. So if you won't sell your item for less than a certain price, then please, start your auction at that price!

And if you're doing it that way so you can conduct a little market survey before listing it for real, then go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut.

Amen. If it has a reserve price, I just figure that it's not really for sale. I filter those out on my searches.

"then go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut."

I would pay money to see someone try that.

I can see using a reserve price.
If it is reasonable and posted for all to see.
