Actually, I usually dont set a minimum bid at all so people don't get turned off by that high minimum bid, and the low bids keep the thread bumped pretty well. It's all psychology, but trust me that I have sold a lot of stuff in a lot of different ways and know the best way to get top dollar. Unfortunately, on this particular item, the bids are now half way to the reserve, but I have changed the item and am actually inclined to use it myself with my ranger since I have no where left to put gold (1 mil in my vault and 100K on each of my 4 characters). It is now a shocking half moon of defense +5 armor +15% damage while enchanted, and if people really want to bid 200K+ for it, in ecto and superior vigors, I might let it go still. Sorry about that to anyone who was really anxious to get this bow, but the bids are just recently get toward what I thought they would generate and this thread is quite old.
Again, my sincerest apologies, but the item's reserve is (and has always been) 200K and the description is no longer completely accurate. Let me know if you'd like to buy it, though. Thanks!
