Default E-bay BB - No Bids?

Have to admit my ignorance, why are there no bids after a week? 10K too much or what?

Here's three reasons I wouldn't bid on it:
1. Seller has no feedback (big one!)
2. Too few pictures
3. It has a reserve. The reserve is probably much, much higher than $10K, and bidders know that.

Opening bids should be set at reserve. Doing otherwise is just dumb IMO.

I think the reason some don't open at reserve is to get an "appraisal"
