What’s your opinion, either buyer or seller, on $5 starting bids on shows? (I do women’s clothing)

I had my first show yesterday and the most viewers I got was 12 at a time, though normally constantly 2 or 3 people stay.

I don’t get a lot of bids, and if I do, it’s normally only one person bidding— so the auction ends with them winning the item for $5. (Usually me getting $4 after whatnot takes money out)

Is that a lot? I know a lot of shows do $1 starts but if I did that I would barely get any money after whatnot takes their percentage out.

Do you guys think this is a lot for starting bid? If you were a buyer and came across my show, would you stay and see or go to the person who had $1 starts?
