I'm glad so many people don't like reserve auctions. While they are not my favorite auctions to bid on, I'm ok with reserve auctions - I don't completely ignore them.
If I find someone selling a unique used gun that I really want, but they have a reserve on it, I will bid my top price. I've actually had an occasion where someone lowered the reserve and I got the gun. My price is fair, and because I know most people ignore reserve auctions, my lonely bid may start to look pretty good to the seller, even if I don't meet the reserve.
