I don't care what the savings are. Is not the reserve that you set your own bid? My point is that placing a reserve is not that much different than shill bidding.In both instances you are after a desired price.
I do not put a reserve (no fees) on my auctions on Jackpot.I can start it as high a price as I want for 25 cents. And I still start my auctions at a low price and let the high bidder win the auction without bidding more to meet a reserve(shill) price.
