| 143 | The reservation bid is the best alternative to a non-agreement. Only bids that are equal or better should be accepted. |
| 144 | For those used to a "reservation value", this is similar but more general: any bid that is equal or better also has a higher |
| 145 | utility than the reservation bid. So if the profile is a utilityspace (see below), then the reservation value is in fact the utility of the reservation bid. |
