Probably eBay fees higher if there's a higher start price? If I put a reserve on things I say in the ad "reserve is £250" or whatever just so people don't waste their time and mine.

From what I remember reading a while back (no idea if true or not of course...) the main purpose was to try and get people involved in bidding in the hope of getting a bargain ("it's worth £1000, but the bidding starts at £10, maybe the reserve is £100, so I'll bid anyway in case I get a bargain"), then hope that once people have placed a bid, they'll get invested/competitive and bid more than originally wanted to. It also means that the item will appear more often if people sort listings by price, or filter on price etc. (even though the true price is really higher). The other angle I've heard is that a reserve puts off experienced buyers, which means the seller is more likely to have to re-list, which means more fees for ebay.

Ebay don't charge for listing or relisting, unless you have extras. I've just checked there is an extra fee for a reserve price, so makes even less sense to me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's missing the scratch plate and although the seller mentions it there are no pictures. The tuners are pretty tarnished. The fretboard looks manky. However, if I didn't already have one, I'd be all over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow getting itchy for a new bass... Yes I saw this. It looks lush! Roasted maple neck and a Sterling is nicer than a Stingray in my book. If I didn't already have too many basses I'd be driving down now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
