[rescue] Re: CRAY Alert!

Why on God's Grey Earth would you start an auction with a $7,500
"reserve" at $1,000? What is the fucking point? Are Cray buyers so
stupid that they will sith there and bid in $25 increments tillit gets
to $7,500?

What do these people think is going to happen? You put a low starting
price on an item to generate some interest, but starting the bidding at
a price profoundly lower thanany number you will accept is just, well,
stupid.

To use my new word of the day - What a Fucktard.

I know, I'll post a U30 on ebay witha starting bid of $.25, but post a
reserve (and tell every bidder in the description) that the reserve is
$250... Yeah, that'll get it sold!
