Thank you for explaining the process. I went through the rules and I must have missed this. I knew about the minimum, but did not know about the reserve.

I have read some of the threads on this site about AMI and not paying the Sellers which I think is very poor business practices.

What drove me to bid on some items were two factors: 1.) The seller was a respected member on this site 2.) I knew that I would be getting a authentic item.

Thank you again for all of your help.
