May help for a little bit of reference:

Thank you. I have since lowered my reserve to a reasonable price.

Post it on ebay with an opening bid of $0.99, no reserve, at the end you will magically have the value.

Should I end the one I have up? Is it better to do it this way?

OK so I want to encourage more people to bid, so I've set the reserve price down to $50. Once someone bid $50 or more, there will be no more reserve.

Appreciate the feedback from others.

Whether you are comfortable with a minimum of $50, $100 or $200, you are much better off with that as a reserve-free minimum bid. Reserves turn off too many bidders who would have been happy to bid what the secret minimum actually was.

If the game has sentimental value, then I would hang onto it. Games with sentimental value that you've had for decades are priceless and irreplaceable.

It's true. The true idiots will happily bid beyond the reserve. They are buying $650 Camp Californias, they clearly care nothing of value whatsoever, the opposite in fact.

Auctions are funny because all you need is two guys who REALLY want a game for it to get bid up to a well beyond historical price.  Typically what happens is the market then is flooded with copies after the new high price was hit, as people want to cash in on their game that has become rarez.  However, once the competitive bidder is out of the game and the market gets flooded, the final prices revert back to the historical average or somewhat below.  I have seen this happen countless times.

Thanks for your contribution to this thread, HailingTheThings.

Anyway, reserves seem to always be set way too high. I don't even bother bidding on an item with a reserve.

Well the reserve is gone now. Thanks again everyone for the great and friendly input.

I'll give you 9.99. That's what a "best of" Beach Boys CD is worth.
