Yeah, the "Or Make Offer" part changes everything.
It's really the best way to list an item that may, or may not, get a high price.
It protects the buyer from having something listed without a reserve sell for too low a price, because the seller can accept or not accept any offer made. If the auction goes all the way to the end with nothing but lowball bids, the seller isn't going to get stuck with a low selling price. The downside is that the seller doesn't have the advantage of the excitement of having bidders be able to see what the current high bid is.
Plus, if somebody wants to hit the BIN button, hey, the seller will have a great Christmas!

Deja vu all over again.
Not in the responses, but the original post is eerily familiar. I wonder why this one attracted such different responses.

How do you know whether or not the seller is thinking: "If I get an offer of $3,500, it's SOLD!"?
Thread starter similarity is purely coincidental, I assure you.
It's just interesting to see the extremes of what some people feel what their stuff is worth. 100% agreed with the free market system and all that- however if one has any reasonable expectation of turning something into cash (IMHO), it's generally wisest to begin somewhere in the right ballpark. Setting a price of double market (not necessarily to say in this particular instance) is usually counterproductive to that goal- in my experience.

It irritates me on a very low level as to what some sellers think their stuff is worth, but then again, do I really care? No. Will it push other sellers prices? No. Is it really any of my concern whether it sells or not? No. I hate lowballers, but this is begging for them!
I think it looks pretty nice, hope he is able to sell it to someone who really treasures it and keeps it in the same condition that it is for another 40 years.
But for the price he is asking I think some really good tubes should be included. Heck I would rather pay his price for this than some stupid baseball that has some baseball players signiture on it or you know all the things like oh John Waynes hat that he wore in that army movie that just got went of a couple of hundred thousand dollars.
