Then simply cancel the bids. Say you entered the wrong amount.
Then you can decide if the item still interest you.
That's just as bad as what Jasandalb does! If you're interested in an item then bid on it. If you don't meet the reserve price then bid until you get to a point where it's no longer worth it to you. then stop. Simple.
