Aaron, thanks for link. Seemingly I forgot to do this. Usually type in ,under advanced search, seller name and you can get linked to seller.

In the auction world, whether it be ebay or somewhere else, reserves are a questionable practice. In a sense, the reserve system defeats having an auction at all. As the above posters noted, the reserve heavily serves the seller, but not in anyway does it serve the buyer. Reserves are an example of sellers both having cake and eating it.

Auction bidding should serve both side: give the seller the higher price from all bidders, let the bidder the chance to buy in a lower (than the) market price. Reserve price serve the seller only.
I usually skip..

I have many collectible lp I would not sell “today”, but if the dollars are right I could be motivated. I guess reserves can be useful to test the market.

i also find reserves to be irritating. i have only a tangential understanding of them. i once bid on a record that had a reserve, and was the top bidder, but did not meet the reserve. i told the seller i’d be happy to pay my top bid price, and he said sure, and we arranged a sale. it was an NM copy of yusef lateef’s “other sounds”. i still love it. but then why did he have the reserve? silly.

i almost never bid on reserve LPs these days. waste of energy if you ask me.

I rarely bid on lps that have a reserve as they certainly are annoying. As a seller, when I list an lp, I’ll put a starting price at the minimum I’ll accept for a sale. I understand fees are a bit lower if the seller’s starting price is lower, but a reserve often results in a no sale, which is a waste of time for everyone. As a seller, I would rather start my sale at a high price, get only 2 bids, and have it result in a sale… rather than put in a reserve, get 38 bids and have no sale.
