Last night (early am today) I bought 3 auctions and posted my Unitron 160 head with a reserve price...I also wanted to start the bidding at $5.

When I got up today to see my auction, I see that my friend Jon King is high bidder at $1.00 and that no where does it say "Reserve Not Met". I then checked to see how many reserve auctions I have left and it says "2". I DESPERATELY need to relist this auction or I will be ruined if it goes for a #1 with a Pepsi price.

I need to cancel this auction without selling it for the actual dollar. What do I do? Awaiting council from the masters....

Just a few thoughts:

Would seem to be a fairly straight forward proposition to me. You obviously made an error when creating the auction by not entering a reserve. Its a new auction and the only bid placed was today so far. I would send a direct email to Herb explaining the issue to [email protected] and also a PM (or direct email if you know the bidder and have it) apologizing for the error, cancel the auction and reenter it properly with the reserve in place. That's what I would do at least. Unless of course there is an option to edit the existing auction which I don't think there is......
