    Ebay sellers, do you disclose your reserve if asked?

    I don't know why it even bothers me but when I run an auction with a reserve I hate it when asked what it is. I am currently selling an M3 and clearly wrote in the auction that my reserve was reasonable and please don't ask what it is. Guess what? Someone already asked. What do the rest of you do? If I refuse, I probably killed a bidder, maybe a buyer. If I tell, then why bother with a reserve? Any ideas?

    If he asked, and you had it clearly stated in your auction, he didn't read your whole auction, which means hes likely not going bid. I wouldn't spend $10k+ for something I didn't fully read a description of. I would ignore him and not waste your time.

    I sell stuff on ebay and always get stupid questions, like "will you ship this engine to Africa even though it says local pickup only?" If I take the time to respond with something like "yes, at your expense, which should be approximatly...", they never even bid anyway.

    Window shoppers suck.

      Just ignore it, they'll get the idea.
