If the one bidder really wants the site, they'll probably ask what your reserve is to make sure they hit it. If you're really desperate to get rid of the site and it doesn't sell, you can always contact the one bidder you did get and negotiate a deal with them. How you get more bidders is probably a whole post on it's own but basically you need to publicize your auction. Whether that's making posts on other market places pointing to your auction or it's posting about it on your site or any number of ways, you're essentially marketing the auction. Also, you could always try to sweeten the deal a bit or provide more info etc. @Lamonte: To be honest, if you only get one bid for $100 and it doesn’t meet your reserve price, the site probably wasn’t going to sell anyway.

But your trying to at least get your reserve price? Like you said which is around $175, but then again you are still trying to get rid of the site asap? How do you get more bidders, finding new trends. Nice post, what about when you sell a site, and the only bid you get is the starting bid, which is usually around $100.
