Hey all... I'm looking to list a .32 Savage 1915 pistol for auction and really don't want to put a reserve price on it, but at the same time want to start the auction at a reasonable price. What would be a fair price to list this pistol at to start an auction? Thanks!

This 1915 sold for over $1,000 a month ago with damaged grips on boths sides... and it's in no better shape than my pistol.

As auction # 188491946, the Model 1915 that sold for over $1000 had a starting price of $99. I don't understand why you got your panties in a knot over my suggestion that you start your auction with a starting price of $200? Chill out, take a couple of Midol, and call your gynecologist in the morning.
CapnJB- if you have a high starting price, a lot of people won't bother bidding. As soon as the bidding starts, the bidders will take it up to what they think it is worth. I have also read that a lot of people that buy regularly here won't bid if there is a 'reserve' price. As with any auction, you are gambling at what you hope people are willing to pay.
