A reserve price is the seller's minimum acceptable price. In an English auction it changes both the sale rule and the payment rule: the highest valuation must exceed the reserve and the winner pays at least the reserve. Mechanisms with different reserves generally have different allocation probabilities, so revenue equivalence need not equate their expected revenues.
