thewayneThere are two types who bug me. The first are the ones where the minimum bid is $X and the Buy It Now price is $X+1. Never made sense to me. I've bought a couple of things like this where I just make the minimum and wait for the auction to expire, usually they have multiple quantities of the item offered.
I saw a specific example of the second one that bugs me just a minute ago. The guy is selling a light meter, he has a Buy It Now of something like $150, which I think is an insane price. Then he has a minimum bid of $50ish with a Reserve Not Met. Now, I can understand the Buy It Now price, but why set a starting auction price below your reserve? Why not be up front about it and set your starting price at your reserve and be done with it?
People are weird (*looks in mirror for case in point*)
