Just wanted to let you know that I'm selling my Amigaone XE on eBay, if you're interested why not take a wee look at my auction:

Cons: £50 for postage? Citylink Premium Next Day is only £13.99 + VAT for UK mainland. :-o

Still, it's transparant - place bids taking into account the postage!

Might I ask what the reserve is set?

Why £1000 insurance? The machine cost me more than that and you can't get them any more. Also means if something goes wrong with delivery neither the buyer or myself will loose out. You can avoid the delivery charge if you collect.
As for the reserve price, I'm sure you'll find it very reasonable ;)
Happy eBaying.
Cheers,
Adam

It's against ebay rules to tell people the reserve price, but, also, it's stupid to do so. Not even brick and mortar auction places do that. I think the only difference is that ebay actually tells you that there is a reserve price at all. Which is odd, since I don't even bother bidding if there's a reserve price and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I don't see anything wrong with telling people the reserve price, it's the minimum acceptable price, I have seen many auctions fail because the reserve price was not met, if the reserve price was known a lot of people might bid with more confidence.
Ebay don't want the reserve price revealed so the item can be relisted several times and they get more fees, they are not acting in the sellers best interest, just their own.
