right if a seller knows what the current bid is he can have someone beat it and retract and then have another bidder bid right below the highest authority of the real bidder.....in the last 10 seconds this cant be done....seller will have to risk 'winning' the item with secret reserve if hes the high bidder end of auction..he not guaranteed to not be the highest bidder if cant do the retraction game...
