Does anyone else find it incredibly annoying when folks selling things on auction sites, especially gunbroker.com, set the lowest possible bid to be already pretty much at their reserve or "buy it now" price? That seems to defeat the entire spirit of an auction. I wish the sites would actually restrict how people can list things so that they can specify a reserve price if they need to but no minimum bid. A "starting bid" of $490 with a reserve of $500 is not an auction, it's just listing the gun for sale at $500.
