If your base price isn't $100, isn't setting the base bid at $100 just a waste of time? Why not set it at your desired base price and skip all the pointless bids? Best this does is that if no one goes above your baseline, you learn that people don't value them as highly as you do, and if they go above your baseline then all this is wasted bidding. And the people who are going to be most likely to pay well/can pay well (collectors/people skilled with the economy, but not people like wise, meat etc who have basically inf money) are just gonna be annoyed when they get top bid only to find they didn't get the item because of a hidden reserve price. The only reason to have a low starting price is to encourage action, but most of the people bidding early on, knowing there is a reserve price, are players who probably can't really afford your baseline or know they're going to pay alot eventually and are just bidding low for... who knows what reason, to keep the bidding going i guess until they get to what they think is a reasonable price? If people REALLY want this item, your baseline wont make a difference, you can't split an elytra, thus if they want it, they have to bid fight for it till they're no willing to go higher, thus, a stupidly low baseline is a waste of time and gets new players excited for no reason.
