Can I set a minimum price for my object?

Yes, depending on the category and if the object has a certain expected revenue. If applicable, you can choose the minimum price that you're willing to sell the object for. This price will be hidden to bidders, who will only see if the minimum price has been met or not. If the minimum price hasn't been met once the auction ends, your object won't sell.
