reserve prices (Mon Mar 1 09:49:25 1999 )

sometimes low bids are set so that interested buyers 
will begin bidding. Even if the reserve price (the price
someone would LIKE to sell for) is not met, the seller
can still contact the bidders and ask them if they would be
willing to buy at the reserve price, or sometimes even less.

The point is, auctions with low min.bids & reserve prices help sellers
find people who are interested in buying the item. It does 
not necessarily mean they will not sell for less.

I have put auctions up with reserves and then told the high bidder
that I am still willing to sell for what they bid at, even 
though they did not meet the reserve by a long shot.

A reserve means we are not OBLIGATED to sell if it is not met.
Thats all.
