This community is loaded with both Ebay buyers and sellers, and quite a few who are both. In the past I have heard a couple of folks speak about pipe sales with a set reserve price. Here is my question.
Say a pipe sale's current bid is $300 and has a hidden reserve set at $350. Bidder "A" makes a max bid of $400. Bidder "A" is now the high bidder and the bid now sits at $325 still $25 under the set reserve. Since bidder A's max bid exceeds the reserve, does the "Reserve not met" label leave the auction page?
Also, if the auction were to close at the $325 mark missing the reserve I presume that the item would not sell despite bidder A's willingness to pay up to $400?
Thanks for the help and guidance,
