What do you consider to be reasonable? While I don't think a first round 300 level ticket will cost $375, I could easily see a pair costing at least that based on the face value prices.
Seems like the face value has gone up each year since 08-09. Last year they were $75 or $85 a seat in the upper reaches of the 300 level. The wife and I have managed to snag at least one game via Tocketmaster each year and bought several others via the TM resale site. I think the most we've paid for first or second round tickets was $120 a piece in '10 vs Vancouver on the secondary market.
If you're going that route and want a good deal, you have to be vigilant in your observation of those websites. You should be able to pick up a few for a reasonable amount over face value.
(Soap box: the damn things are too expensive to start with!!)

The face on the cheapest 300 level ticket being $120 is pretty crazy. I think STH prices are half of that.

I only intend to try for tickets to possible clinchers (i.e. games 5 and 7) of each round. I bid my last group of students farewell at 2:20 and am hoping there will still be tickets available. I don't like that they constantly do this in the middle of the work day.

When else should they do it?

Demand is just that crazy. They get that easily. I think I need to be out at this point, at least next year when I know I'll be broke.
It's playoff sports. Of course the tickets will be pricey. The demand is there, the team is on fire, and the venue rocks.
The 300 level is also one of the best places in the house you can sit. I love watching plays develop.

My hope is that I can get 4 late 2nd round tickets playoff tickets. If the games don't happen, I lose like $20 in TM fees. If they do, I sell 2 for like 40+ over face and and go to the game for close to nothing.

$125 for the cheapest non-SRO for round 1
$165 in round 2
Was gonna buy 4 to try to sell 2 and take a buddy at face value and go free, but I'm not even gonna bother. Way to expensive, not gonna make much profit on the resale market, IMO.

Sucks because I want tickets to the 2nd round (if they make it there) but I don't know the potential dates or even date ranges since i wanted to buy tickets for family coming into town on a weekend.

I went though stubhub for both WCF vs SJ in 2010 and didn't spend half of what they want for face value in round 2. CRAZY prices! Hopefully they play a city that doesn't draw and I'll be traveling instead...

It is times like these when I'm glad my brother has a 1 year old and his wife most likely won't be going to the playoff games with him. The STH prices are about half of what they are charging for single game sales for the playoffs.

And...it would be cool to see Detroit in the first round and take a little road trip out to the D.

Indeed. I would love to see JLA half filled with Hawks fans for a playoff game.
