Can you do a buy-it-now dutch auction? 50 widgets on a dutch auction. I bid on 49 of em at $1.10ea but you buy all of em at $1.00ea? Isn't that's what buy-it-now dutch would do? Or can I buy my quantity through buy-it-now and leave the rest?

Don't sound right. Never saw that.

But I've often seen dutch auction go way way over reserve or starting bid.

Most (but not all the time) the Dutch auction ENDS at whatever the starting bid is. If there is a large quantity of the item available on the Dutch auctions then the chances of it going over the starting bid is almost nil. No buy it now on Dutch auctions but for buying or selling items at close to fixed price, Dutch auctions are great. I might be doing a Dutch auction for ladies beach wear in the near future.
