What does "Dutch" mean on the Disauctions?

Call me auction ignorant!

Thanks.

Ooh! One more word: No reserve?

On Ebay dutch means more than one of the item is available. A reserve is when the seller won't sell the item for less than a set amount. HTH.

When something is Dutch, does that mean you have to buy all of the items or can you just buy, say, 2 out of the XX?


Thanks,

Oooh, I've got gone. On ebay, what is NR after the title of the item?

 

[TINKTWINS]

NR might be new, rare. And on a Dutch you can buy however many you want

 

[nuts4wdw]

nr could also mean no reserve

 

[my3kids]

How do you know if you have met the reserve? Is it possible to think you've won the auction only to find out the reserve was higher and no one gets it?

 

[eljojo]

it will say "reserve not met" if you haven't bid high enough yet. For no reserve, you can start bidding at any price.
