Can anyone explain what happened, here?

Message from seller says reserve is $425 and if reserve is met then shipping is free. Um...why not just say free shipping since any winning bid will meet the reserve, no?

One bid at $375 and it says reserve met. I thought the reserve was $425?
If the bidder wins the auction with a $375 bid will he get free shipping?

Can the reserve price be changed once the auction starts?

    He is going to lose his butt on that one.
    He had the reserve set at $375. Once bids start he can not change it.
    Support may like to see that one.
    The Auction has been relisted quite a few times. He never changed the Reserve.

    You can make any changes you want, including the reserve, until there's a bid. After that, you can only add to the description.

    Of course, the seller says he will "wave" the shipping, not "waive". [;)]

    On 5/7/15 the reserve was 425.00
    I guess when the seller relisted it,the reserve was lowered.

    The old Fake out... People bidding on it close to the reserve of 425 that was posted. Reserve was not 425 as his listing says... and Bingo ..someone owns the gun. They were very surprised when they found out and will get to buy it. Shipping is 25 dollars. The edit says if it reaches 425 the shipping is free.
