Question about "Buy it now" on ebay [View all]

Last time I had something on ebay I had a "buy it now" price but when the first bidder bid.
the "buy it now" price disappeared. Getting ready to put a pre 1930's Jayhawk Oils wall clock
up for bids. I have looked and looked for another one on line and never found one. They only had
about 2 dozen truck stops/cafes in Kansas in the 1920's, so I'm guessing that's probably about
the number of clocks they had made.

Really nice examples of their 1 quart oil cans bring $2,500 to $3,500 so I'm thinking the last wall
clock known to exist ought to be worth around $10,000.

How do I get the "buy it now" price to stay up? Or do I put a reserve price on it same as my "BTN"?
