Well it was thrown into the toilet. Depending on its level of use at the time, losing the camera may be a good thing. You wouldn't be referring to "brown" trout, would you? ;D

Welcome to the forum Bochafish 8-)

Hey, your one up on me, welcome!

Quotes from E-bay: "Why have a reserve price? Many sellers have found that too high a starting price discourages interest in their item, while an attractively low starting price makes them vulnerable to selling at an unsatisfactorily low price. A reserve price helps with this." "Important: eBay will never reveal your reserve price to potential bidders. But sellers often receive inquiries from bidders about the reserve price. This is allowed on eBay. Likewise, revealing your reserve to a bidder is allowed, but not required. If you don't want to reveal your reserve price, you can politely let the bidder know that they can bid what they like and if the bidding meets the reserve price the item will be sold" I guess I am not trying to beat a horse, but the stated policy says they can ask, but I don't need to tell. I didn't tell and I did it politely, and instead of saying thanks but no thanks, he got sarcastic. It just smelled funny.

I agree....The question is , Do you want to sell ? Not only is he fishing for the lowest price, but you are fishing for the highest price. To me, having a reserve says that you want to sell but your not gonna take it in the shorts, ie, your willing to keep it if the bid isn't enough. As a buyer, how bad do you want it? Your gonna have to keep bidding until you feel your gonna pay too much. As a seller who has that reserve, I am wanting you to play the guessing game, I am not gonna lay down and cave. BTW,in this case my buy it now price was NIB that was $10 cheaper than any other. This is my idea on it, but I appreciate your thoughts guys.

Last summer I read where a lemonade stand got knocked off. They got away with like 10-15 bucks. I'm tellin' ya........... :-/

Keep all of your correspondence until it is resolved also. Good luck.

This was his reply to my answer: "I have NEVER had anyone refuse to disclose their reserve price... I had no clue it was a secret, I had assumed it was merely the lowest price a seller would let an item go for. Oops my mistake, I guess I have been misinformed all these years. Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to respond to such an obserd question!" I thought for sure I had missed something, thanks again for everyone's input.

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Great to have ya in the mix!

Howdy and welcome

Welcome to BR Terry

Thanks for the come back guys, I've been with ebay for awhile, but have never sold with a reserve and buy it now. Thought maybe I missed something. Couple of questions. You guys are talking about sniper service, what is it? and REBFLC, not sure what you meant, can you elaborate? Do you think I was wrong, or him asking was wrong? Thanks again everyone -ff15

I had a listing for a seven day auction that I put a reserve on and it also had a buy it now price. A while ago I recieved an e-mail from someone wanting to know what my reserve was, and I told them I wasn't going to disclose that, and if I were to, I simply would have started the bidding at that price. He rebuked me and said he's never heard of anyone not wanting to disclose their reserve. Did I get it wrong? Maybe I don't understand the idea of having a reserve. :-/ Any help?

I like the power hump. For whatever reason, it changes the angle of my grip ever so little and makes it more comfortable. That is the one reason I like split grip rods. They do the same thing for me with the way I grip the reel.

Make sure the camera is a water proof one. ;D

Thanks for the post CJ, glad to know they are there and the bite is on! Now if they can hold on for a few days yet
