A fairly straightforward mechanism to deal with this is to make the price that you have to pay proportional to your reserve price. It's an established theoretical concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harberger_Tax but afaik there are no notable real-world implementations so far. I'm not deeply familiar with it btw, and not advocating for or against it, just fyi
Because then no one would buy it.
