    Okay a lot of people will start an auction for a sig, template, tut, etc...and then they will give the required requirements like "Starting bid, Increasy by, etc..." Now some people will say "I won't sell if I don't like the price." I find this stupid, as once you put something into auction you can't take it out. Like on ebay, if you put somehting on auction you can't say "oh I didn't like the final price so im not selling it." Kind of stupid of what people do here...

    Reason most people do it, including I, is because others do it and its only fair. If there is to be a rule in place, and I encourage there to be.. Then it will all stop.

    I think its fine.

    Of course..its always possible that you never end the auction, that way you dont have to sell it low, so this thing doesnt matter much..

    reserves are actually available on ebay...

    But since there is no system on GR that reads the "reserve", we cant really tell what it is; unless it is posted and quoted

    Doesnt seem to bother me, i also do it myself.

    I think if someone is looking for a certain amount of credits/ or near to that amount that they should be able to do this. I dunno *shrugs*

    I think it is fair that people can have a reserve price if they want it. What happens if one day someone decides to sell their signature, maybe not many people will like it so he only gets 1 bid which doesn't reflect the time and effort into making that signature, i think it would be unfair to deprive this member of having the signature they slaved over making.

    If it becomes more of a problem in the future, we will consider adding it to the auction rules as a "no reserve policy" but at this moment in time we feel it is not neccesary.
