Drama aside, Deal or No Deal should have a default starting floor bid or the person offering the item should name what the "floor" will be. You get these items where the bidding goes on for many pages, but then the seller just "no deals" all the bids and withdraws the item. If there's some number you have in mind below which it's a "non-starter", then just name it and let the bidding begin there. No need to play games - if you have a number, name it. Otherwise, don't waste people's time by having them try to guess your hidden reserve.
 
If you list a base price wouldn’t that just belong in the regular for sale section? The whole point is to get people bidding. If you like the price Deal, if not No Deal….
 
I like the starting bid idea. It speeds up the process and if you start with an amount you’d be satisfied with, you may get lucky and have two or more bidders who really need the part jump in. You give more people a chance at getting what they need and make a little extra at the same time.

A starting bid isn't necessarily the price you will take but eliminates bids below a certain amount you won't take. For example if you are listing an item that you think may go to $3k then start the item at $1500-2000.
