Ah, I see your pain. I will see what I can do about this!

I guess I’ll have to wait patiently. Honestly, I’m not sure how a fix would be complicated, just add something like the following pseudocode:

(if (and (< CurBid Reserve) (> MaxBid Reserve))
(set! CurBid Reserve)
())

Or something in a reasonable person’s programming language (my brain is in LISP), seriously all that needs to be done is:

1) At the end of an auction, check that both “current bid” is less than “reserve price” and “reserve price” is less than “maximum bid”.

2) If it is, replace “current bid” with “reserve price”

3) Otherwise, do nothing.

I mean, it’s just evaluating a conditional that involves checking the relative magnitudes of three numbers, then either replacing something with something else, or doing nothing. I can’t think of a programming context in which this is hard, but I’m probably missing something.
