No, the $200,000 is just a minimum opening bid. Note the statement that the reserve price has NOT been met. Especially on higher value items (cars, motorcycles, boats, RVs, etc.) the seller will specify a starting bid. That may be, but usually is not, the reserve minimum acceptable bid. The seller may state "no reserve" and some do that as a matter of course. It doesn't usually happen with high value items, though.
