Heath stuff and I hate reserve price auctions

[Neil Morrison]

I know why they do it, but when there is such a difference between the
starting bid and the reserve, AND no one even makes the reserve, it's just
too damn annoying. These usually sell for around $400 - I'm surprised this
got bid up so high!

Regards,

Neil
