Good attempt, bad execution in my opinion.

It doesn't look like it "fits together".

I guess I like it better than most cafes. Some stuff could be better, sure but then isnt it that way with every bike?

no disclosure of the reserve

Means "I'm asking more than you are willing to pay.  Keep bidding"

When someone asks that I think....cheap bastard who won't win it anyways and prolly won't even bid.

The reserve is meant to keep the seller from having to let their item go for less than they wanted.  It's not meant to be a guessing game for the prospective buyers.

True.  Some sellers disclose their reserve in the body of the auction, though.

Which is what I have done the few times I used a reserve on an auction.  I'd hate to think someone got within a couple of dollars of my reserve and then stopped bidding because they thought it might be too high.

If they are from here they wont fess up after reading this.

Not disclosing reserve.. no problem.. Listing a bike is not a one & only chance to sell..

Not listing reserve price has made me nothing but money, in one case I got more that the reserve  for the item from the highest bidder.. after the auction ended :o

Like that would have happened if I disclosed it..

Only bidders that still have training wheels on worry about reserves..
