To ensure that you get a minimal expected price from your sale, you can set up a reserve price for your listing.
This minimum threshold becomes a hidden minimum price for your item. Here is how it works:
- Your prospective buyers are not shown the reserve price, only whether the reserve has been met.
- When the listing ends, you are not obligated to sell the item if the reserve price is not met.
- Once the reserve has been met, the item will sell to the highest bidder when the listing closes.
To apply a reserve price to your listing:
- Sign in to your AgBuySell account.
- Click on Start a new listing at the upper right corner of your screen.
- Follow the instructions provided for steps 1 through 3 of listing creation.
- At stage 4 of your new listing creation, enter your minimum price in the relevant field.
- Click the Save button.
