Default ebay question

If I don't set a reserve for an item, and i set a minimum bid of $0.99, do I HAVE to sell that item at any price above .99? I'm selling my 3DO and the min bid right now is .99, and there is no way in hell I'm going to sell it for that cheap....so if the auction ends and it isn't up to what I want to sell it at, can i just refuse the highest bidder and say no?

:dunno:

If you didn't set a reserve, then yes... at least... that's if you're moral...

i think you have to state it somewhere in the auction, but i believe you can reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time for any reason. i think.

Well I retracted the only bid...I just sent an email to ebay saying I wanted to add a reserve...I'm going to wait and see what they say, and if not I'll have a friend bid on it for me.
