I meant in general, not particularly this auction. Obivously in this auction, it makes no sense how they listed it. If the opening bid is the same as the buy it now price, it should just be a fixed price auction with no bidding.

But on other auctions, if say the opening bid is $15 and the BIN is $20 (and there is no reserve), if someone bids $15 the BIN disappears. Now say the opening bid is $15, the BIN is $20, and there is an $18 reserve, the BIN will stay there till someone bids over $18.
