The math is really not that hard, i.e. 1000 > (1000 - 10%).
I imagine a lot of people just leave the min value in, and maybe set a buy-now price. Or they don't realize that the auction house takes 10%.

Which comes back to our job - should we prevent you from even setting a price below that? Part of me feels like yes, but then again, having a min of 1111 just feels weird.
