What is a No Reserve Auction (NR)?

No Reserve Auction


In this type of auction, buyers bid until the auction ends. The item will sell to the highest bidder at the end of the auction period. Bidding starts at $1, and the seller must sell the item to the highest bidder.

Reserve Price Auction

These auctions are what people experiences at house auctions, where there is a hidden reserve price that must be met before the item can be sold.

You will notice there is a yellow "Reserve Not Met" sticker which means the reserve has not been met. You can read more about reserve price auctions here.
