<p>[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 2698728, member: 83956"]So I am bidding on a coin on eBay. Starting bid is $100. I bid that. I am the only bidder. Then the listing says that the reserve is not met. So I bid $125. Then the listing says I am the highest bidder, but the reserve is still not met. What if the reserve is $120 and I remain the only bidder? Will the reserve go unmet and the coin won't sell, even though I'm willing to go $125, because no one else is bidding against me for the reserve to be "triggered"? Does that make any sense? It seems an odd but plausible circumstance when there is only one bidder for a coin and the seller has set the minimum bid below the reserve. Does anyone have any insight here? And no, I'm not willing to go higher than $125 just to see if I could trigger the reserve. I think I could get the coin at another auction at that price or less.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help here will be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
