Winning bid is much higher than previous bid?

pearljamMember

ok this is probably a dumb question but...

i won this item in an auction where there were only two bids. i sniped the item for $40 but the previous bid (the only other bid in the auction) was only $15. why didnt i snipe this item for a price thats just higher than $15? is it because the seller had a reserve?

i was out of town so i did not watch the auction when i sniped it. any help would be great. thanks
