(though I think Frank is teasing due to the fact that you said you would lower your prices this time around)Every seller has the right to decide what he thinks is good selling strategy and what a fair (or smart) opening price or BIN for his wares is. I'm really not one to sit in judgement of that. (It is annoying when sellers misrepresent their items as "rare" and put a high opening bid to sucker newbays but that is not what is happening here.) A free unmanipualted market will decide whether that strategy was correct or not.The only problem I have ever had is the feeling that the market is being manipulated by resellers who bid on everything of a certain type of item, up to their desired selling price point. Since morgansurname is not currently bidding on anything, let him charge whatever he wants without grief. I would hate to have my opening bids questioned as I'm sure most of us would.I think it bares stating that though this has been a MERP discussion the D&D collectable market is very susceptible to this kind of reselling. Someone could decide to buy or at least bid up every woodgrain or white box set to a certain price point and start selling them just above that price point. How would you all feel if one reseller changed the price of the OCE from @$50 to @$300 or more? You are probably skeptical but it could easily happen.
