Note this last part...
This agrees with my statement. Note that you do not have to cancel bids if
the reserve was not met and you don't want to sell. And your "valid reason"
need be nothing more than you felt like it. Yes, you are obligated to sell
to the legitimate high bidder (which presumably happened in the HP2114 case)
