Surely if you are told the reserve, you just need to make 1 bid at the reserve price,

Or am I missing something here,

Maybe the bidder has a twitchy finger disorder?

Maybe he didn't believe you really had set the reserve at £150.

I have a feeling that that is not true, but I could be wrong.
I believe it goes up in increments like an ordinary auction without reserve.
Were there p's next to the amount bid?

the point I was driving at, sends a message to ask, what is the reserve,

cant wait for a reply, so sets off on the fishing trip,

3 hours later, gets the sellers mesage telling him what the reserve is,
THEN BIDS UPTO THE RESERVE,

then loses out ,to my one bid increment above the reserve,

got myself a nice cheap gold necklace,
