i cant find this suggestion anywhere else, so here i go.
i know there is already a starting price on auctions, but maybe there should be a reserve price aswell which you can set for X amount of BS, now you may not see the point, but with starting prices peoploe dont bid even thought its a reasonable price, as the item cost will invariably go above the starting bids.
so i was thinking put reserves on items so that people can bid whatever they want, but if the item doesnt reach your limit set it doesn't sell.
so people wouldnt look at something for say 500BS and think that could go much higher.

tell me what you think, im half asleep so its worded badly, ill try to explain miore if you have any queries

This way many people will use it as a way of evaluating an item. They set the reserve on 500000 stones and see how much people can actually pay. This will cause unnecessary lags...

exactly, and wh ywould anybody set the reserve high, if A) it costs them stones
and
B) their item doesn't sell.
