Psychology I think.  If you don't know what the reserve is you may be
tempted to bid just that little bit more in order to find out, spending more
than you might have had you known what the minimum price was to start with.
This is irrational but then so are lots of eBay buyers.  I sold a three
month old Fuji S2 for more than I paid for it new.  I've also seen Rollei
compact cameras fetch a third more used than several dealers were charging
for them new.

I wish everybody would publish their reserve prices like on the list 
below; makes life much easier for the bidder. I never understood why 
one has a starting price lower than the reserve price: Perhaps 
somebody can explain the logic, if any, to me. And why the relative 
difference between starting price and reserve varies so much between 
items on the list.
