Well that's strong!
The fact is people like to dicker and they like to get a valuable item for cheap. BIN and preset visible reserves(high starting amounts) take the fun out of a auction.
Here's where you're not getting it. eBay used to be about fun and deals. It is no longer. eBay is Amazon with "bidding". It is what it is. There are unscrupulous buyers on eBay as there are in any form of commerce.
It sucks but it's the price of admission.
