The Bottom Line In an auction, a seller can implement a reserve price, which is the minimum amount they are willing to sell the item for. If the reserve price is not met by a bidder, then the seller has no obligation to sell the item.When you set a reserve price, bidders will see that you have a reserve price in place and whether it has been met, but not the reserve price itself. If the highest bid at the end of the auction is below your reserve price, you don’t have to sell the item, however the reserve price fee won’t be refunded.A reserve price is the minimum amount a seller is willing to accept for their property at auction. It represents the lowest price at which the Auctioneer is authorised to sell the property. If bidding doesn’t reach the reserve price, the property remains unsold.If there’s only one bidder then the auctioneer is allowed to “run them up” to the reserve price, by bidding against them. However, if their highest bid is still lower than the reserve price then the property will not sell. It’s a strange auction rule, and sounds surprising.
