As a seller, they aren&#8217;t worth it. Putting up a reserve is extra money out of your pocket from the get go. Even if the reserve isn&#8217;t met, I think you still pay a fee. Not cool. Plus, rather than use a bogus reserve system, why not just list your tshirt at the lowest price you would have created a reserve for? It&#8217;s far more economical. I understand the psychology behind listing a tshirt with a low starting bid, but if there is a reserve in place, you negate that. People bump up against the reserve and just walk away. UNLESS, that is UNLESS the item being sold is an 1977 Led Zeppelin tour track suit. Otherwise, reserves are just a waste.<\/p>\n<p>Consider this Chokehold shirt from xdrugfreepridex. Great shirt, no doubt. But he starts with a $9.99 opening bid. Based on the condition of this shirt, that opening bid price almost seems like a pipe dream. The ink looks like it is eating itself from the outside in. Seriously.  Then by throwing on a reserve, he&#8217;s pretty much scaring every buyer off. That&#8217;s my estimate. It&#8217;ll be interesting to watch this auction.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vintage Chokehold Reserves tee\" title=\"Vintage Chokehold Reserves tee\" title=\"click to view on ebay\" src=\"https:\/\/defunkd.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/31.chokehold1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vintage Chokehold Reserves tee\" title=\"Vintage Chokehold Reserves tee\" title=\"click to view on ebay\" src=\"https:\/\/defunkd.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/31.chokehold2.jpg\" alt=\"\"  \/><!--more--><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vintage Chokehold Reserves tee\" title=\"Vintage Chokehold Reserves tee\" style=\"text-decoration: none; border: 0; padding: 0; margin: 0;\" src=\"http:\/\/rover.ebay.com\/roverimp\/1\/711-53200-19255-0\/1?pub=5574737960&amp;toolid=10001&amp;campid=5336547836&amp;mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]\" alt=\"\"  \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t like reserves.
