Trav; How about after the sale is over and no bids were received ... or less than the reserve price was reached .... that the reserve price be disclosed along with all the other after-the-sale information?

The main problem I have with some ebay reserve auction sales is that in many cases it simply turns out to be an extention of a web-site retail sale.... instead of an auction. I agree with prior posters who say it's a waste of time to bid on an item that has an unrealistic reserve.
